agenda.app version 0.41-2build1 failed to build on i386

Well, I would like to help but I don't know how...

Can I see the config.h file generated by configure ?

Also, why are there 2 libobjc referenced in the build logs ?

GCC-4.6 uses libobjc.so.3

Ok but apparently gnustep-gui uses libobjc.so.2 :

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libobjc.so.2, needed by /usr/lib/libgnustep-gui.so, may conflict with libobjc.so.3

Anyway, Natty seems to ship gcc 4.5 so can you please tell me for which environment this package is build and how can I reproduce it ?

Ok, you're not really helping here. I asked how I could reproduce this
problem (and also to see the config.h file) and your only answer is a
link to a message with no information ??

I took the time to download and install the latest natty cd in a vm to
try to reproduce this and guess what, apt-cache search gcc | grep 4.6
gives me nada. Am I supposed to guess what is the environment in which
the build fails ?

If you want me to look into this problem you could probably take the
time to answer my questions.

FYI 3 months ago I filed a bug report about a font problem making every
GNUstep applications I tested crash on a fresh maverick install (I
discovered that because a user contacted me directly) with the art
backend and nobody responded. At the time I also tested the cairo
backend but this one crashed for another reason with a backtrace in
pixman. And now I have to fight to get informations about a problem in a
non existing ubuntu release ?

rant as you want.

Thanks, I certainly will.

Try the appended patch.

This just moves the '-lical -luuid' part of the link command near the
end of the line. I don't know if the problem comes from gcc or ld and I
guess (or hope) that the last release of gnustep-make workaround this
problem.

Of course the resulting application crashes on startup, probably because
it's linked with libobjc.3.so when gnustep-base and gui use
libobjc.2.so, but hey, I guess it's not important.

Update : with the latest gnustep-make release, the '-lical -luuid' linker flags are located at the end of the command without modifications to GNUmakefile.preamble.

This is not a bug in SimpleAgenda (or agenda.app if you prefer).

I think I gave the solution to this problem, even if the patch I
provided is not fully correct.

Is there something I can do to help close the bug fot good ?

This second patch fixes the build problem in a nicer way.

But the main problem of mixing libobjc2 with libobjc3 and libgnustep-base.1.20 with libgnustep-base.1.22 remains.

This bug was fixed in the package agenda.app - 0.41-2ubuntu1

    fix a FTBFS caused by wrong order of arguments to ld. (LP: #765936)
