Description Raphael Groner 2018-07-20 03:49:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Package xvkbd fails to build from source in Fedora rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Steps to Reproduce:
koji build --scratch f29 xvkbd-3.9-1.fc29.src.rpm

Additional info:

Comment 1 Raphael Groner 2018-07-20 03:53:26 UTC 
It seems recent mass-rebuild broke imake. From build.log of xvkbd:
+ xmkmf -a
+ sed -i.mode -e 's|-m 0444|-m 0644|' Makefile
sed: can't read Makefile: No such file or directory

I'll extract and attach the used Imakefile to have better reproducibility.

Imakefile

Fails in F29 but not in F28.
Comment 3 Raphael Groner 2018-07-28 09:44:46 UTC 
Thanks to spot for the fix with commit 68ed50.

It seems imake must Require: gcc to be able to generate Makefile.

+ xmkmf -a
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/share/X11/config
sh: gcc: command not found
/usr/bin/xmkmf: line 53:  1684 Aborted                 (core dumped) imake $imake_defines $args

You seem to be right, it's entirely broken without cc.
Comment 5 Raphael Groner 2018-07-28 14:40:56 UTC 
Thanks again, Igor and Tom. Koschei does not complain any more.
