Bug#744206: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: add 'bc' as a build dependancy
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.54-2
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
'bc' is now a build-time dependancy of the linux kernel. As this isn't
marked as a dependancy of build-essential or any of the normal build-chain
tools, it should be added to the debian/control for kernel src packages.
Building the kernel on a host without bc will result in an error. The
first of which is:
AS arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/sysenter.o
CC kernel/irq_work.o
CC arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.o
BC kernel/timeconst.h
/bin/sh: 1: bc: not found
make[2]: *** [kernel/timeconst.h] Error 127
make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
