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

[Bob]

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)?

[Olly Betts]

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"

[Bob]

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

[Olly Betts]

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.

[Bob]

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 Betts]

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...

[Bob]

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

[Olly Betts]

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 Betts]

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

[Olly Betts]

No feedback from the reporter for a year, and we can't reproduce this ourselves so resolving as WORKSFORME.

Bob: if you are still seeing this and want us to investigate, please attach error.ii as described in comment:11.
