Package: guestfs Version: 1.12.8-1 Severity: serious Tags: sid Justification: fails to build from source
While building on Ubuntu, I'm getting the following from the build system. ""Function `PyString_AsString' implicitly converted to pointer at .../../../python/guestfs-py.c:56 Function `PyInt_FromLong' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py.c:616 Function `PyInt_FromLong' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py-byhand.c:171 Function `PyString_AsString' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py.c:56 Function `PyInt_FromLong' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py.c:616 Function `PyInt_FromLong' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py-byhand.c:171 Our automated build log filter detected the problem(s) above that will likely cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64. This is often due to a missing function prototype definition. Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always fatal to the application on ia64, they are errors. Please correct them for your next upload. More information can be found at: http://wiki.debian.org/ImplicitPointerConversions"; Looking at the python 3 bindings it looks like all these function prototypes do not exist in the API - they've all been replaced with equivalent Unicode functions. This build log (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/83488108/buildlog_ubuntu-natty- amd64.libguestfs_1.12.8-1~natty1~ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz) shows that much of the compilation of the python 3.1 and 3.2 bindings failed to obtain the correct prototypes, e.g. "../../../python/guestfs-py.c: In function 'get_string_list': .../../../python/guestfs-py.c:56:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'PyString_AsString' .../../../python/guestfs-py.c:56:10: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast Function `PyString_AsString' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../python /guestfs-py.c:56 " A cursory glance at the generators suggest that there is a fair bit of work to make this python 3 compatible. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty-updates APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
