Bug#754146: [bug-gettext] Bug#754146: gettext: fix FTBFS on ppc64el with autoreconf or libtool patch (provided) (fwd)
Mauricio Faria de Oliveira mauri...@linux.vnet.ibm.com writes: Just clarifying for a broader audience: Thanks for the clarification. On Debian, using autoreconf required a change to one upstream file [1] because the libtool macros are shipped with 'link_all_libdeps=no'. Therefore that patch [2] just added in *_LDADD the missing libdep listed in *_DEPENDENCIES (libgettextlib.la), plus libunistring in one case. It's reasonable for upstream not to consider it, since it is required due to a change downstream. So: Would be possible to release a gettext version using latest libtool so that I do not need to add any special hack in the Debian package? (Or maybe this is not even fixed in libtool yet?) This was fixed in libtool (as of [3]), and incorporated in v2.4.2.418. So, yes, probably we should skip the Makefile.am changes (in upstream). For the patch to libtool.m4, I'd also like to wait until a new libtool stable release, but if it takes long time and the change is trivial enough, I think it could be backported (like [1]).

Bug#754146: gettext: fix FTBFS on ppc64el with autoreconf or libtool patch (provided)
Package: src:gettext Version: 0.18.3.2-3 Tags: patch User: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ppc64el User: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Usertags: autoreconf Hi Santiago, Either of the attached patches fix a FTBFS on ppc64el due to shared libraries not being built (due to old libtool.m4/configure script). Would you please consider one of them for an upload? One is a simple patch (fixes only ppc64el). The other is a more complete dh-autoreconf thing (fixes ppc64el and other new arches, but uses dh_, which AFAICT the package is not using, but does build successfully). With either of them applied, the contents of the built packages (i.e., dpkg-deb -c) are equivalent to those of powerpc packages (i.e., no diff in file listings, accounting for GNU arch name difference).
