Re: Bug#728098: tiff: FTBFS on m68k due to unknown host system
[I'm not the maintainer of this package.]

tiff currently FTBFS on m68k since the configure script doesn't know
anything about the host architecture [1].
The interesting bits from the build log are:
=======================================================================
Libtiff is now configured for m68k-unknown-linux-gnu
I think this is red herring...
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -W -c -o tif_aux.lo tif_aux.c
libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -W -c tif_aux.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/tif_aux.o
In file included from tiffiop.h:60:0,
from tif_aux.c:32:
tiffio.h:67:1: error: unknown type name 'unknown'
The line in question is:
| typedef TIFF_SSIZE_T tmsize_t;
The relevant configure.ac snippet is:
| # Determine TIFF equivalent of ssize_t
| AC_MSG_CHECKING(for signed size type)
| SSIZE_T='unknown'
| SSIZE_FORMAT='unknown'
| if test $ac_cv_sizeof_signed_long -eq $ac_cv_sizeof_unsigned_char_p
| then
| SSIZE_T='signed long'
| SSIZE_FORMAT='"%ld"'
| elif test $ac_cv_sizeof_signed_long_long -eq $ac_cv_sizeof_unsigned_char_p
| then
| SSIZE_T='signed long long'
| SSIZE_FORMAT='"%lld"'
| fi
| AC_MSG_RESULT($SSIZE_T)
| AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(TIFF_SSIZE_T,$SSIZE_T,[Signed size type])
| AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(TIFF_SSIZE_FORMAT,$SSIZE_FORMAT,[Signed size type formatter])
And earlier in the build log[0], there's indeed:
| checking for signed size type... unknown
I can't think why would this check fail... But anyway, later versions
built successfully[1][2], so I think this bug should be closed.
