Sorry, that won't work. (Otherwise I would have specified that as the patch.) I start with that as my initial patch and then adjust it to suit the particular package. The autotools-dev instructions do not work for base-passwd, just as they do not work for other packages. That may be due to upstream bugs but the autotools-dev recommendation is only a recommendation - packages are free to implement things differently. Unlike other mass bug filings, the cross build support bugs are prepared through an entirely manual process, each patch is bespoke for the particular package. > (I also don't see why setting CC > explicitly is necessary, since configure will do that itself.)

I can regenerate the broken build log with just the autotools-dev recommendations if you need it. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHP07ziAEJSii8s+MRAgHHAKDcYeZiE1GXoZMU6T0GvQf9UpA9bwCfeYAd Cti9zJXXfP2G9+uxZzrSgpw= =MQ6T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
