[Pkg-freeciv-devel] Bug#322950: freeciv: FTBFS (ppc64): /bin/sh ../bootstrap/config.sub powerpc64-linux-gnu failed

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: freeciv
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When building 'freeciv' on ppc64/unstable,
I get the following error:

mv -f patch-stampT patch-stamp
dh_testdir
rm -f config.sub config.guess
ln -s /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub
ln -s /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess
mkdir build-xaw3d
(cd build-xaw3d && 	\
 ../configure --cache-file=/freeciv-2.0.4/config.cache --prefix=/usr --datadir=\${prefix}/share/games --bindir=\${prefix}/games --host powerpc64-linux-gnu --build powerpc64-linux-gnu --enable-debug=no  --disable-server --enable-client=xaw \
 	--with-xaw3d --without-zlib && \
/usr/bin/make CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2 ")
configure: creating cache /freeciv-2.0.4/config.cache
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `powerpc64-linux-gnu': machine `powerpc64' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ../bootstrap/config.sub powerpc64-linux-gnu failed
make: *** [build-xaw3d] Error 1

This is because the automatic update of the config.{guess,sub} files
should copy or link  those files to the './bootstrap' directory instead 
of the parent directory. This error leads to the use of outdated
config files.

With the attached patch 'freeciv' can be compiled on ppc64.

Andreas Jochens
