Bug#702488: sfst: FTBFS on powerpcspe

[Roland Stigge <stigge@antcom.de>]

Hi Rico,

thanks for working on sfst in Debian!

I would be happy to sponsor sfst!

But first, I would like to sort out some issues:

* What error in the build process do you get? I encountered build errors
on both amd64 and powerpcspe _without_ my patch, e.g.:

configure: exit 77
dh_auto_configure: ./configure --build=powerpc-linux-gnuspe
--prefix=/usr --includedir=${prefix}/include
--mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/sfst
--disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking returned exit
code 77
make: *** [build] Error 25

 But this happens depending on whether I run "debian/rules clean" in the
unstable chroot or not.

Did you encounter similar issues? Are you sure you built in a clean
unstable chroot?

So I'm not convinced that build errors are coming from my patch which
looks good and works also in other packages's configure.ac's.
* There are some lintian warnings about hardening flags etc. Please
consider fixing the issues or add lintian overrides
* At this stage in the release process, I would prefer dist
"experimental" rather that "unstable" to make work on th wheezy release
easier.
* I would add myself as Uploader to the sfst package
* Please use debian/source/format "3.0 (quilt)", so we can sort out
better what changes are supposed to fix what, and prevent unintended
changes by generated stuff, especially due to autoreconfing.

Please CC me on updates to sfst.

Thanks,

Roland
