Subject: octave-java: Not working on architecture armel

Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:28:49 +0200

Package: octave-java
Version: 1.2.8-3
Severity: normal

Invoking

 javaclasspath

in octave on architecture armel produces the error

octave:3> javaclasspath
error: `java_invoke' undefined near line 49 column 16
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/packages/java-1.2.8/javaclasspath.m at line 49, column 14

Installing octave-java version 1.2.8-5 from sid together with openjdk-7 on architecture armel shows the same error.

The same invocation works fine on architecture amd64 installation using the same versions of octave (3.6.2-2) and octave-java (1.2.8-3).

Running octave with strace on both architectures shows the following difference, which may be related to the failure:

amd64 (which works):
stat("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/packages/java-1.2.8/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v48+", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

armel (which does not work):
stat64("/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/octave/packages/java-1.2.8/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-api-v48+", 0xbe900c48) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Looking at the contents of the packages with dpkg -L, the amd64 package contains 3 files in this platform-specific directory:
__java__.oct, PKG_ADD, PKG_DEL

The arm package however does not contain any files under /usr/lib

Subject: Patch for #681355

Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 10:45:31 +0200

The patch below fixes the problem for architecture armel.

Please note that other debian architectures might also be affected
by the bug and need similar fixes.

The cause is that the src/configure script tests only for a limited
number of known architectures. arm was not among them.

I'm looking into this and bumping the severity - the package doesn't
seem to work on most architectures. 
The solution is probably to use the machinery from the javahelper
package.

Can you act as guinea pig for a new package? I don't have access to
armel myself and you seem to already have everything set up.

Code is available at
http://people.debian.org/~tweber/octave-java/
The changelog and version need to be bumped, but it's just a quick test.

Thanks
	Thomas

    Set and use JAVA_ARCH correctly on all platforms

    We use the javahelper package and change upstream's configure script
    such that it uses the given value.
    New patch: enable_preset_java_arch_value

    Closes: #681355
