[Pkg-ofed-devel] Bug#727410: libibcommon: update config.{sub, guess} for the AArch64 port

[Matthias Klose]

Package: src:libibcommon
Version: 1.1.2-20090314-1
Severity: normal
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertags: arm64

The package fails to build on arm64 (aarch64-linux-gnu), because the
config.{guess,sub} files are out of date, and are not updated during
the build.  If possible, please do not update these files directly,
but build-depend on autotools-dev instead, and use the tools provided
by autotools-dev to update these files.

  - For dh, call dh --with autotools_dev (yes, underscore).

  - For other rules files, call dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig before
    calling configure (in the build or configure target), and call
    dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig before calling dh_clean in the clean
    target.

After the build on any architecture, and before a clean, a grep for
aarch64 in the config.sub file(s) should print some lines.

The full build log can be found at:
http://people.debian.org/~doko/logs/arm64-20131023/logs/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-arm64.libibcommon_1.1.2-20090314-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt
The last lines of the build log are at the end of this report.

Please note that these build were done in an Ubuntu development,
environment there may be a few false positives in these bug reports.

libtoolize --force --copy
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'.
libtoolize: copying file `config/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to `aclocal.m4':
libtoolize:   `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize:   `/usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
