Subject: Bug#821015: harvest-tools: FTBFS with memcpy-related errors
X-Debian-PR-Message: report 821015
X-Debian-PR-Package: src:harvest-tools
X-Debian-PR-Keywords:
X-Debian-PR-Source: harvest-tools
Source: harvest-tools
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source
Hi, Andreas.
Builds of harvest-tools fail on nearly all architectures with errors
related to memcpy. On most platforms, there are several errors of the
form
libharvest.a(AnnotationList.o): In function `std::char_traits<char>::copy(char*, char const*, unsigned long)':
/usr/include/c++/5/bits/char_traits.h:290: undefined reference to `memcpy@GLIBC_2.2.5'
On mips(el), the errors are instead
/usr/bin/ld: src/harvest/memcpyWrap.o: relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `__gnu_local_gp' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
src/harvest/memcpyWrap.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
These all look like fallout from attempting to deploy a memcpy
wrapper, which moreover appears to make no actual difference. I would
recommend the following build-system changes:
- Stop compiling with -include src/harvest/memcpyLink.h.
- Stop building memcpyWrap.c at all.
- Build harvesttools directly from the remaining object files,
as I see no need for an intermediate libharvest.a. (Alternatively,
pull harvest.cpp, which defines main, out of the library.)
- Stop linking with -Wl,--wrap=memcpy. While you're at it, please
also drop -static-libstdc++, which is inappropriate for Debian.
Could you please take a look?
Thanks!
