Adding -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to the CFLAGS in debian/rules will allow squeak-vm to build. It would however be better to wrap the write() calls with return value handling.

Fails to build with the same problem in sugar-jhbuild on Ubuntu 8.10.

What is the underlying problem with sugar building on Ubuntu 8.10?

While I can check out a static copy and build from there making Jordan's modification, this does not work with sugar-jhbuild as Morgan points out. Check http://pastebin.be/14877 for another example.

I would like to either fix the underlying problem on Ubuntu 8.10 or submit a patch to the upstream developer.

Does this occur on 8.04 or previous versions?

I did a bit of a dance to use the same -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to manually configure squeak in sugar-jhbuild to get it to build - so the workaround does work there too, but I don't understand the issue enough to recommend it for upstream. I'll ask the Sugar list and upstream again about it.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags#-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is relevant.

The upstream we are using for sugar-jhbuild has applied the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 in svn.

Thank you VERY much for your work.

I just reran the sugar-jhbuild script and it fully built... all the sweet smell of Success!

This bug was fixed in the package squeak-vm - 1:3.9.8-3ubuntu3

---------------
squeak-vm (1:3.9.8-3ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Drop xlibs-static-dev build dependency as it is obsolete.
  * Check the return code of write() in
    platforms/unix/vm-display-fbdev/sqUnixFBDevMousePS2.c (LP: #254547)
