Trying to build xapian package for dapper fails during fakeroot apt-get source -b xapian-core

[rhatch]

Building ubuntu dapper or gutsy gives a similar failure for command fakeroot apt-get source -b xapian-core.

Prior to this failure the command below does not seem to work. sudo apt-get build-dep xapian-core Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

This command works for me on x86-64 gutsy:

fakeroot apt-get source -b xapian-core

Can you post the full output of this command for you (not just the last part)?

Hmm, it looks like configure runs OK.

And it also builds cleanly for me in a dapper i386 chroot with the same command.

Do you have an installed "config.h" from some rogue project - /usr/include/config.h or similar? We should check the build directory first, but perhaps that's not working as intended.

Otherwise, what's in build/config.h? It should have:

#define PACKAGE "xapian-core"

[rhatch]

/* Name of package */ #define PACKAGE "xapian-core" /home/rhatch/xapian-core-1.0.5/build

[olly]

But do you have an installed config.h anywhere?

Probably this command should reveal if so:

locate include/config.h

Otherwise, I'm a bit baffled since it works for me, and your config.h seems to have the expected define in.

[rhatch]

I found the config.h in the build root directory, I needed to move config.h to the include directory to make it work.

[olly]

No, config.h is meant to be in the build root directory, not in include. Look at how g++ is being invoked - it has "-I." and the current directory is the build root directory:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../common -I../include -I./include -I../languages -Ilanguages -I../queryparser -Wall -W -Wredundant-decls -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wno-multichar -Wno-long-long -fno-gnu-keywords -Wundef -Wshadow -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -c ../api/error.cc -fPIC -DPIC -o api/.libs/error.o

Could you please post the output of:

locate include/config.h

If you don't provide the information I ask for, it's hard to help you...

[rhatch]

rhatch@rhatch-laptop:~$ locate include/config.h rhatch@rhatch-laptop:~$

[olly]

Hmm, let's see if we can track down what's happening differently then.

Can you post the preprocessed output - to do this run the g++ command with -save-temps appended:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../common -I../include -I./include \ -I../languages -Ilanguages -I../queryparser -Wall -W -Wredundant-decls \ -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wno-multichar -Wno-long-long \ -fno-gnu-keywords -Wundef -Wshadow -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -c ../api/error.cc \ -fPIC -DPIC -o api/.libs/error.o -save-temps

(you can just cut and paste that to your terminal as "\" followed by newline continues a line).

That should create the file "error.ii". Attach this to the bug using "Create a New Attachment" (this allows me to download it without word wrapping interfering, so I can easily diff it against the output I get for the same command).

[olly]

Bob: Have you resolved this now? If not, can you attach the output from the commands in comment#9?
