Source: vile Version: 9.8y-1 Tags: patch upstream User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs
vile used to cross build until 9.8x-1. Now it fails. The reasons are not entirely clear to me. Here is what I know: 1. It checks for setpgrp and getpgrp and these tests turn out to be successful in all cases. 2. When cross compiling, it avoids AC_FUNC_SETPGRP and AC_FUNC_GETPGRP even though these macros work fine with cross compiling today. 3. For some reason, SETPGRP_VOID and GETPGRP_VOID end up not getting defined during cross compilation. configure isn't very verbose about why. 4. If you delete the extra code that tries to support cross building, it just works. As such, I recommend skipping deeper investigation and rather deleting the evidently broken cross compilation support code. Do note that you must regenerate configure before upload or enable autoreconf to apply this change. I'm attaching the bare configure.in patch for your convenience. Helmut
