build fails on i386

As the debian maintainer of this package I would like to know what version you are refering to.

Please note that I have not been informed of this problem and that clisp 2.36-X builds correctly on i386 on debian.

Hmmm...

if Ryan is meaning this, what happened to me, when I tried to build clisp, that you'll find it in the attached buildlog.

attached buildlog

What I see in the buildlog is a failure of the x86_64 (so amd64) code. Please not that in debian we found an ICE in gcc on amd64, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=349268 .

So:
- does the -falign-functions=4 fix the ICE on amd64?
- or is it a bug because we try to build the amd64 stuff in the
  i386 chroot on an amd64 machine?

Well,

I will check the clisp build on plain amd64.
If it failes again, I will try to add -falign-functions=4 to the CFLAGS (is it enough to add it to the CFLAGS during configure, or do I need to tweak the autotools magic?)

If I faile or succeed, I'll report it here.

Ok,

first of all, if I build clisp on amd64, it compiles the amd64 stuff, but fails later, and this is, IMHO, your gcc4 bug.
So the i386 build failures are coming from trying to build amd64 stuff on i386.

pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package

The reason the build fails is that rules doesn't specify
gcc-3.3 for i386 and gcc-4 is being used. The latest Debian
(2.38-1) source builds OK with the following change.

Fix referred to in the previous comment.

[Sorry I don't understand how to drive this reporting
system. Oh for email.]

Sorry the previous diff was bogus. Double oh for email.
This is what I meant to send.

Hi,

(You'd need to udpate the build-depends needing to include gcc-3.3 for i386 then as well), however we can't compile packages with gcc-3.3 any longer, as it might get removed soon. I'll recheck this with doko, maybe he's got a clue about the gcc-issue.

Cheers,
     Stefan.

Ah,obviously I was confused by the build-deps
somehow, not noticing the architecture dependence.
Anyway if you want to eliminate gcc-3.3, this will fix it
for i386. You'll also have to fix that clisp-dev
depends (not build-depends) on gcc-3.3.

Hi,

Thx. for your help and comments, I've just uploaded a version. I'm pretty excited to see the amd64 buildlog ;).

Cheers,
     Stefan.

Thanks for all your comments. It took me only 4 uploads *cough* to find out, that sparc/amd64 will *only* succeed with gcc-3.3 and that Dave's patch works (actually used for all arches), applied to debian's 1:2.38-1 package of clisp.

Finally closing this bug ;).

@Peter: I did a very small patch with dh_gencontrol magic to eliminate gcc-3.3 dependency from clisp-dev for arches which don't get build with gcc-3.3. If you want, I'll sort it out and put it to debian bts.

Cheers,
    Stefan.

Thanks, patches integrated into debian package.
