Subject: FTBFS (alpha): 'uchar' undeclared

Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2007 19:20:48 +0100

Package: openarena
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

openarena does not build on Alpha:

[...]
gcc -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -MMD -c -Icpp -o build-linux-axp/cpp/cpp.o cpp/cpp.c
In file included from cpp/cpp.c:6:
cpp/cpp.h:45: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uchar'
cpp/cpp.h:59: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uchar'
cpp/cpp.h:69: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uchar'
cpp/cpp.h:135: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token
cpp/cpp.c:15: error: 'uchar' undeclared here (not in a function)
[...]

The reason is this chunk in code/tools/lcc/cpp/cpp.h:

#ifndef __alpha
typedef unsigned char uchar;
#endif

Probably was is supposed to avoid a double definition. If I just
remove the check, it builds fine, except that it fails later:

cp build/release-linux-alpha/ioquake3.alpha debian/tmp/openarena.bin
cp: cannot stat `build/release-linux-alpha/ioquake3.alpha': No such file or directory

There seems to be some "alpha" vs. "axp" confusion here, since the dir
is called build/release-linux-axp.

Since we, the Debian Games Team don't have access to alpha hardware to
test things we would appreciate a patch.

TIA

hi,

i don't have access to an alpha machine, but as you hinted there's some
axp vs. alpha confusion in the Makefile.

as openarena uses the ioquauke3 game engine, i looked through their
information about alpha support. they only support a limited dedicated
server on the alpha architecture.

though i (blindly) created a patch you may want to try on the
openarens package, maybe it helps to compile the engine.

good luck - fuddl

Hi fuddl,

The attached patch fixes openarena on alpha.  In addition to the two build
problems Falk identified in his bug report, an additional change is needed
to not use -ffast-math when building on alpha, as -ffast-math will cause the
client to die with SIGFPE.

Heh, there's no reason the client shouldn't be supported on alpha if it's
already supported on other 64-bit archs, and I've confirmed that the client
does work with this patch applied.  Please apply the patch; if you need a
sponsor for this fix, I'd be happy to help.

Cheers,
