Hello everyone,
I'm trying to recompile Rivet against Tcl8.6 under Debian by using the
Debian source package, but something goes wrong. Here's what I'm doing.
$ apt-get source libapache2-mod-rivet
$ cd libapache2-mod-rivet-2.1.1
$ vim debian/rules
* in rules, I change the following options
* TCL_VERSION=8.6
are you working with Debian wheezy or sid? On sid TCL_VERSION definition
in rules should be useless and be removed. In the effort to keep the
package Ubuntu compatible I had to let it depend on tcl-dev instead of
tcl8.5-dev and tell the build system to peek into /usr/bin to find
tclConfig.sh. On Ubuntu this script knows how to build the package on a
multiarch system. This issue is coming up soon on Debian too, as soon as
Debian wheezy is released. The package is now in Debian / sid
* and
* --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.6
* and
* --with-tclsh=/usr/bin/tcl8.6
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
compilation goes on until it tryies to build the
rivet/apache-2/rivetCore.c source. There, I get this error:
rivetCore.c: In function 'TestpanicCmd':
rivetCore.c:1459:5: error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments [-Werror=format-security]
weird, this is a compiler issue and it has to do with the hardening
compilation switches that enforced stricter rules for calling
printf-like calls. I can't reproduce the error but you may try changing
the call as
panic("%s",argString)
it's compatible and safer. I changed myself many calls like these here
and there in the code to prevent Debian build system from complaining
and make mod_rivet's code in principle a bit safer
If I just change the TCL_VERSION variable, without touching the
configure options, the .deb is built, but against Tcl8.5.
I also downloaded the sources right from the Rivet website and I
compiled them against Tcl8.6 by using the same configure options I found
in debian/rules, and it went well.
Could you give me some help? I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong,
but I never recompiled from source packages, so I've no idea about what
it is.
Thank you very much,
Marco Pallante
