Bug#879270: thunderbird: FTBFS on ppc64 due to incorrect endianness selection
Source: icedove
Version: 1:52.4.0-1
Severity: important
User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64
Hello!
thunderbird fails to build from source on ppc64 [1]:

mozbuild.frontend.reader.SandboxValidationError:
==============================
ERROR PROCESSING MOZBUILD FILE
==============================
The error occurred while processing the following file or one of the files it includes:
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/mozilla/config/external/icu/data/moz.build
The error occurred when validating the result of the execution. The reported error is:
File listed in FINAL_TARGET_FILES does not exist: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/mozilla/config/external/icu/data/icudt58l.dat
*** Fix above errors and then restart with\
"make -f client.mk build"
client.mk:360: recipe for target 'configure' failed
make[2]: *** [configure] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
debian/rules:82: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 2
This is because the change in [2] to simplify the endianness selection
assumes that all powerpc64 are little-endian which is not the case.
powerpc64le-*-* is little-endian, powerc64-*-*, however, is still big-endian.
Thus, to fix this issue, you will need to re-add:
+ powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu)
+ dnl ppc64
+ ICU_DATA_FILE="icudt${version}b.dat"
+ ;;
Thanks,
Adrian
