Subject: iceowl: FTBFS: checking whether the C++ compiler (g++-4.2 ) works... no

Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:22:24 +0200

Package: iceowl
Version: 0.7-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20080413 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on i386

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on i386.

This rebuild was done with gcc 4.3 instead of gcc 4.2, because gcc 4.3 is now
the default on most architectures (even if it's not the case on i386 yet).
Feel free to downgrade this bug to 'important' if your package is only built
on i386, and this bug is specific to gcc 4.3 (i.e the package builds fine with
gcc 4.2).

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at 
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot containing a sid i386
environment.  Internet was not accessible from the build systems.

Hi,

Note that this also breaks backports to etch, where gcc-4.2 isn't available.

Unless you have strong reasons to avoid gcc-4.1, I recommend that you simply
remove the variable override:

# we are modern and build with 4.2 everywhere
CXX=g++-4.2
CC=gcc-4.2
export CXX CC

IMO being modern isn't really a package-specific issue ;-)

It was when 4.2 wasn't the default and 4.1 didn't work right because
of visibility issues. I can surely drop this on 0.8 update.

BTW, no idea if you are trying to go for something here, but please
don't NMU for iceowl. If you want to do iceowl go for the bzr branch i
maintain at least.

Thanks.  AFAICS, 4.1 is ok now (including runtime).

There's no hurry.  I'm doing a backport, but I already fixed it in the
bpo branch.
