[Pkg-ofed-devel] Bug#744446: libibcommon: run dh-autoreconf to update config.{sub, guess} and {libtool, aclocal}.m4

[Matthias Klose]

Package: src:libibcommon
Version: 1.1.2-20090314-1
User: debian-devel at lists.debian.org
Usertags: autoreconf

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config.{guess,sub} files are out of date, and are not updated during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 autoreconf.

  - For cdbs based build systems, include
    /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk

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

For combining autoreconf and autotools_dev, see bug #698765.

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/arm64-20140414/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 builds were done in an Ubuntu development,
environment there may be a few false positives in these bug reports.

See https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS for a guide how to
address these.
