Package: apt-build Version: 0.12.9 Severity: important I installed apt-build 0.12.9 and after that edited /etc/apt/apt-build.conf to suit. I tried to "apt-build install aalib1-dev" and it fails with a mysterious error. When i restore the original apt-build.conf it works. Here's my apt-build.conf: ----- build-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/build repository-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/repository Olevel = -Os mcpu = -mcpu=i686 options = " -march=i686 -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse,387 -fomit-frame-pointer" make_options = " " ----- Here's what's left in config.log if I catch it before it's deleted: ----- This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
