Bug#290714: libpopt-dev: patch for cross-compiling popt
Jason Dorje Short
Version: 1.7-5
Severity: normal
First note this is not a bug in the debian binary package. This is a
bug in the original popt-1.7 tarball. However I sent it to the
"official" popt maintainer (e...@redhat.com) and the mail bounced (I
read in a separate bug report that he is no longer with red hat and
nobody knows where he is). Lest the patch be lost, I am sending it
here.
I downloaded popt 1.7 and tried to cross-compile it on Debian/Unstable
for Windows.
It came close to working. However to get it to actually work I had to
use this patch (and then rerun autogen.sh).
The @INTLLIBS@ bit is needed to get libintl to work with libpopt.la.
Although no gettext functions are used, when you #include <libintl.h>
there is code that redefines printf as libintl_printf. So without
linking against this library libintl_printf will not be available
causing a link-time error. Note that this only happens when compiling
against libintl in GNU gettext, not when compiling against the gettext
provided by glibc.
The mkinstalldirs change should be pretty self-evident.
$(MKINSTALLDIRS) is already defined to point to the mkinstalldirs
script
in the $(top_builddir). Yet a line below $(top_builddir) is prepended
again when $(mkinstalldirs) is defined. The result is that
$(top_builddir), which is "..", is prepended twice and $(mkinstalldirs_
points to the wrong place. This causes "make install" to fail.
The patch (and more explanation) is also available at
http://freeciv.org/~jdorje/crosscompile/cross-compiling.html.
