Ecasound FTBFS on Alpha due to a test-suite failure [1]: make check-TESTS make[5]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/libecasound' make[6]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/libecasound' ../test-driver: line 107: 22820 Floating point exception"$@" > $log_file 2>&1 FAIL: libecasound_tester Running the test suite under gdb reveals the place of the floating point exception to be: #0 0x0000000120114d30 in GENERIC_OSCILLATOR::set_parameter (this=0x12022ec10, param=<optimized out>, value=0) at osc-gen.cpp:208 which is on the line of code: loop_length_rep = 1.0f / frequency(); i.e., a division by frequency() after setting frequency to zero, thus a division by zero. But ecasound is compiled with -ffast-math, which according to the gcc manual in turn sets -ffinite-math-only which is a guarantee to the compiler that all floating point calculations are finite. On Alpha abusing that guarantee results in a floating point exception and program termination. Assuming it is intended that frequencies can be zero I attach a patch that protects against the division by zero. With that ecasound builds to completion on Alpha. (In the patch I also assume that frequencies are non-negative thus there is no possibility of -0.0 as a frequency.) Cheers Michael.
