Hi :) there are two build system issues that are driving me mad (well, the first one at least).
buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb$ make -C libdiskfs || echo $? 2 Yes, that's most helpful. Not. buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ rm demuxer.d buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ make demuxer.o set -e; gcc -std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline -Wall -g -O3 -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -I. -I../../libdiskfs -I.. -I../.. -I../include -I../../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_IO_MTSAFE_IO -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"GNU\ Hurd\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"hurd\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"0.5\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"GNU\ Hurd\ 0.5\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"bug-hurd@gnu.org\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/\" -DHAVE_MIG_RETCODE=1 -DHAVE_GETGROUPLIST=1 -DHAVE_USELOCALE=1 -DHAVE_FILE_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DHAVE_EXEC_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DHAVE__HURD_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_PARTED_PARTED_H=1 -DHAVE_LIBPARTED=1 -DHAVE_LIBUUID=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -DYYTEXT_POINTER=1 -DX11_PREFIX=\"/usr\" -DHAVE_DAEMON=1 -DHAVE_BLKID=1 -M -MG ../../libdiskfs/demuxer.c | sed > demuxer.d.new -e 's%demuxer\.o:%demuxer.o demuxer_pic.o demuxer_p.o demuxer.d: %' -e 's% [^ ]*/gcc-lib/[^ ]*\.h%%g' mv -f demuxer.d.new demuxer.d buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ echo $? 2 Now I take the gcc line and remove -M -MG: buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ gcc -std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline -Wall -g -O3 -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -I. -I../../libdiskfs -I.. -I../.. -I../include -I../../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_IO_MTSAFE_IO -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"GNU\ Hurd\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"hurd\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"0.5\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"GNU\ Hurd\ 0.5\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"bug-hurd@gnu.org\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/\" -DHAVE_MIG_RETCODE=1 -DHAVE_GETGROUPLIST=1 -DHAVE_USELOCALE=1 -DHAVE_FILE_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DHAVE_EXEC_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DHAVE__HURD_EXEC_FILE_NAME=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_PARTED_PARTED_H=1 -DHAVE_LIBPARTED=1 -DHAVE_LIBUUID=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -DYYTEXT_POINTER=1 -DX11_PREFIX=\"/usr\" -DHAVE_DAEMON=1 -DHAVE_BLKID=1 ../../libdiskfs/demuxer.c In file included from ../../libdiskfs/demuxer.c:23:0: ../libports/notify_S.h:12:23: fatal error: mig-decls.h: No such file or directory #include "mig-decls.h" ^ compilation terminated. This is the first bug. I'd love if someone knew how to fix this. It is easy enough to trigger, just add a non-existing #include to any .c file. The second issue is due to me doing an out-of-tree build. That it currently works is more or less by chance I fear. I just came up with a (legit in my opinion) patch that breaks oot builds. So what happens here is that demuxer.c includes "../libports/notify_S.h", which is a mig-generated file: buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ ls ../libports/notify_S.h ../libports/notify_S.h And this file includes "mig-decls.h" (that's the change I made that breaks the build), because that file is in the source tree: buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ ls ../libports/mig-decls.h ls: cannot access ../libports/mig-decls.h: No such file or directory buildbot@pluto:/home/pluto/hurd/build/build-deb/libdiskfs$ ls ../../libports/mig-decls.h ../../libports/mig-decls.h :/ Any help?
