Re-marking confirmed for qemu to remind us that we must remove the version from the libfdt-dev dependency for qemu.
** Description changed: + ================================== + Impact: libfdt-dev is unusable + Fix: we use the patch from debian wheezy to export the needed .h file. + Test case: download qemu package from trusty, remove the "<< 1.4.0" versioning from the libfdt-dev dependency, and try to build + Regression Potential there should be none, we simply export another .h file. + ================================== + The configure scripts checks for fdt by looking at libfdt_env.h configure:2610: #include <libfdt_env.h> This file only exists in libfdt-dev version 1.4.0 and onwards, so it makes sense to specify build-dependency on that version. Otherwise, configure fails with: - error_exit "DTC not present. Your options:" \ - " (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package" \ - " (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:" \ - " git submodule update --init dtc" + error_exit "DTC not present. Your options:" \ + " (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package" \ + " (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:" \ + " git submodule update --init dtc" ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295072 Title: qemu 1.7 should build-depend on libfdt-dev higher than 1.4.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/device-tree-compiler/+bug/1295072/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
