Hi,
when building libhmsbeagle using gcc version 4.7 you get a build error
which can be easily fixed (see patch in Debian Med SVN[1])
Before I upload a package featuring this patch I would like to clarify
something which remains not clear to me. The first thing is that I'm a
bit unsure what version you might consider as "stable for Debian
release". The homepage[2] is featuring version 1.0. However, our watch
file (containing the metainformation from where to download the source
which needs to point to tagged SVN releases because you are not
providing a downloadable source tarball) points to SVN tags[3] and finds
version 1.1. So which one is the one you want Debian to distribute?
BTW, questions like this will not occure if you would provide versioned
a source tarball at the homepage directly.
The second issue is about the problem which was discussed in the
beginning of this year[4] about SSE support. I have noticed that you
seem to have dealt with this but at least if I build not really
successfully. I can not build on my amd64 machine if I do not at least
add this patch:
--- libhmsbeagle-1.1.orig/configure.ac
+++ libhmsbeagle-1.1/configure.ac
@@ -211,6 +211,9 @@
if test "$enable_sse" = yes; then
SSE_CFLAGS+="-DENABLE_SSE"
AM_CXXFLAGS="$AM_CXXFLAGS -msse2"
+ AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_SSE2,true)
+else
+ AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_SSE2,false)
fi
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise automake is claimin missing AM_CONDITIONAL statement for
HAVE_SSE2. Moreover I think the way you changed
libhmsbeagle/CPU/Makefile.am is not sufficiently preventing that the
build system tries to build libhmsbeagle-cpu-sse.la on non-Intel
architectures. The first line says:
lib_LTLIBRARIES=libhmsbeagle-cpu.la libhmsbeagle-cpu-sse.la
and thus libhmsbeagle-cpu-sse.la is an unconditional target which is not
handled by the HAVE_SSE2 conditional. It might be that the HAVE_SSE2
condition has a completely different purpose than the patch from
Debian[5] which was using HAVE_SSE and thus I would like to make sure
I have understood things properly first before I upload.
Kind regards and thanks for providing libhmsbeagle as Free Software
Andreas.
