Bug#319844: gfontview(GNU/k*BSD): FTBFS: out of date config.sub/config.guess
Package: gfontview
Version: N/A
Severity: important
Hello,
The current version of gfontview fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD,
because of outdated config.guess and config.sub.
The versions of config.guess and config.sub in gfontview are too
old to correctly support Debian GNU/k*BSD. A version is needed
from this year, which is available in the autotools-dev packages
that are in current sarge, and sid.
You can simply copy them manually, but it can also be done
automatically using the method described in
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
It would also be nice if you cans ask upstream to update
config.guess and config.sub in their next release.
Thanks for your cooperation.
