[opensuse-factory] automake 1.12 and gettext in our coming 12.2
Hi, all The version of gettext in 12.2 has an upstream bug that it still uses depreciated AM_PROG_MKDIR_P which is obsoleted since automake 1.10 and actively obsoleted from 1.12. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-04/msg00198.html https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33722 (latest comment say it's a gettext bug) And this will cause some packages in 12.2 fails with a "gcc warning taken as error" error. Solution A is to tweak the spec file of specific packages like man, gnutls by replacing "AM_PROG_MKDIR_P" to newer "AC_PROG_MKDIR_P", "$(MKDIR_P)" to "$(mkdir_p)" and removing "-Werror" from CFLAGS. This is okay to man, but to gnutls, this tweak seems doesn't build .po files at all. Solution B is to tweak gettext package but I don't know how. So gettext maintainers please take care of it.

I doubt that "mkdir_p" is the new name. Not only would that be completely contrary to the path the toolchain has taken before, and I have quite the faith in the autoconf documentation which still says MKDIR_P. Last but not least, automake still emits MKDIR_P into Makefiles. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

mkdir_p is not a must. I didn't make myself clear. I tried to locate that error message, but seems it's has been fix by my last patch or something....anyway good news it's gone.

I patched gettext, but I'm not sure it helped Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I reverted to 1.12 now, 1.12.1 is obviously a bad release - AM_PROG_MKDIR_P was supposed to be marked as deprecated, but they simply broke it. Gretings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Apparently there is also a bug in aclocal: main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype at /usr/bin/aclocal line 642. keeps showing while building packages..hrmmm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

1.12.1 has a fix for that. It was one reason why I took this update. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
