[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#344995: octave-forge: FTBFS (ia64, mips, .../unstable): fixed.h: No such file or directory

[Steve Langasek]

Package: octave-forge
Version: 2005.06.13-4
Severity: serious

octave-forge is failing to build on multiple architectures because it's
missing an include path while building in the fixed/examples directory:

[...]
make[4]: Entering directory /build/buildd/octave-forge-2005.06.13/main/fixed/examples'
Depending ffft.cc
rm -f ffft.d

A full build log can be found at
<http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?pkg=octave-forge&arch=mips&ver=2005.06.13-4&stamp=1135763004&file=log>.

The fixed.h file is in the parent main/fixed directory, not in
main/fixed/examples; for whatever reason, the build is using the -I../
argument correctly when recording the dependencies, but then proceeds to
drop it for the actual build, resulting in the shown errors.

There are also other errors shown in the build log; I don't understand why
the build continues on after these other errors, but I assume at least that
the final error, if not the *only* reason for the build failure, is at least
*a* reason for the build failure.

Because ginac is tied to the KDE ABI transition, and octave-forge depends on
libginac1.3c2a, it would be appreciated if you could address this bug ASAP.

Thanks,
