The problem is very likely to be caused by dpkg 1.14.18 now setting default values for CFLAGS and some other variables (see dpkg-buildpackage(1)).
It seems so. As I said it works in chroot and if I try to use debuild on my normal box. I reworked all the autotools stuff which did not helped. In the new configure file a failure occures at the posistion where I included the following debug line: --- configure.orig 2008-04-21 14:14:21.000000000 +0200 +++ configure 2008-04-21 15:51:26.000000000 +0200 @@ -3068,6 +3068,7 @@ *\"* | *\`* | *\\*) ac_try_echo=\$ac_try;; *) ac_try_echo=$ac_try;; esac +echo "DEBUG: `pwd` ; $PATH ; `which gtk-config `; `gtk-config --libs`" eval "echo \"\$as_me:$LINENO: $ac_try_echo\"") >&5 (eval "$ac_link_default") 2>&5 ac_status=$? This leads to the following entry in config.log: ... gcc: '-V' option must have argument configure:3021: $? = 1 configure:3044: checking for C compiler default output file name DEBUG: /tmp/buildd/libgtkimreg-0.1.3.1 ; /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ; /usr/bin/gtk-config; -L/usr/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm configure:3072: gcc -O2 -s `gtk-config --libs` conftest.c >&5 gcc: `gtk-config: No such file or directory cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-flibs`" configure:3075: $? = 1 configure:3113: result: configure: failed program was: ... I'd regard this as completely insane because the same snippet looks like this if I build on the local machine: gcc: '-V' option must have argument configure:3021: $? = 1 configure:3044: checking for C compiler default output file name DEBUG: /home/tillea/debian-maintain/packages/imreg/gtkimreg-0.1.3.1 ; /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 ; /usr/bin/gtk-config; -L/usr/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm configure:3072: gcc conftest.c >&5 configure:3075: $? = 0 configure:3113: result: a.out But this reveals two cruxial questions: 1. What is the sense to override CFLAGS which above are obviosely "-O2 -s `gtk-config --libs`" by "" on the local machine? 2. What is the reason for the failure above gcc -O2 -s `gtk-config --libs` conftest.c should perfectly work because I verified that there is a working gtk-config and how comes this strange option "-flibs`" ??? I'm quite clueless. Any ideas? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
