The new patch method and mit-krb5
Hello all, A patch is needed to allow mit-krb5 to build on MIPS N32. However, the new method, where 'patches' is part of 'origin', does not work for mit-krb5. mit-krb5 is distributed in a strange way. It's distributed as a tar file that contains two files: a .tar.gz file with the actual source code, and a signature for that .tar.gz file. The mit-krb5 recipe copes with this by using a custom 'unpack' phase. My working patch is now on the 'loongson' branch: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=loongson&id=db956e3aff4ea5d39fb45a5a1079f8b24a592c29 Can someone help me convert this to use the new patch method? We'll need a solution before the old patch method goes away. Thanks, Mark

That could be worked around by adding ‘ac_cv func_GC_set_finalizer_notifier=yes’ to #:configure-flags, but I suspect there’s another issue hiding here. Thanks, Ludo’.
Guile under Guix on Arm
Hello,
./pre-inst-env guix build guile-static-stripped-tarball
--target=armv5-linux-gnueabi
(after enabling armv5 as explained under porting in the guix manual)
results in the following error:
CC libguile_2.0_la-fluids.lo
finalizers.c:166:1: error: static declaration of 'GC_set_finalizer_notifier'

Indeed, line 177 of gc.h is:
GC_API void GC_CALL GC_set_finalizer_notifier(GC_finalizer_notifier_proc);
And line 47 of bdw-gc.h is:
#include
The static redefinition is in lines 164 ff. of finalizers.c:
#ifndef HAVE_GC_SET_FINALIZER_NOTIFIER
static void
GC_set_finalizer_notifier (void (*notifier) (void))
{
GC_finalizer_notifier = notifier;
}
#endif
And config.h contains
/* #undef HAVE_GC_SET_FINALIZER_NOTIFIER */
"By hand", I did compile guile-2.0.9 without problem.
A problem in guile, or with the guile package in guix with respect to cross
compiling?

AFAICS the PulseAudio 4.0 tarball was generated with Automake 1.11, where the ‘parallel-tests’ driver was disabled by default. So tests are run sequentially already. We’d need to report it upstream, but I don’t really have enough info. So it’d be great if someone could reproduce it and try to gather more details. Thanks, Ludo’.
