Description Sami Pitko 2006-03-24 15:55:08 UTC

Description of problem:

sendmail-8.13.6-1.src.rpm does not compile on Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 1 nor Red 
Hat Enterprise Linux 3

sendmail.spec has been modified following:

%define       with_sasl1    yes
%define       with_sasl2    no
%define       enable_pie    no
%define       old_setup     yes

Above changes enables building with sendmail-8.13.3-1.src.rpm

Build stops with following error message:

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

How reproducible:

Reproduced in Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download and install src.rpm
2. modify sendmail.spec
3. rpmbuild -ba sendmail.spec
  
Actual results:

Additional info:

Comment 1 Sami Pitko 2006-03-24 20:21:23 UTC

Resolution found. Change sendmail.spec confOPTIMIZE value back to pre 8.13.3-
1.1 setting:

define(\`confOPTIMIZE', \`${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}')

Resolution verified with Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Change of confOPTIMIZE value does not affect Fedora Core 4 ability to build 
sendmail-8.13.6-1.src.rpm

sendmail.spec changelog has following entry:

* Tue Mar  1 2005 Thomas Woerner <twoerner> 8.13.3-1.1
- fixed gcc4 build: use double quotes for confOPTIMIZE to avoid m4 confusion
  with ','

That fix apparently broke the srpm for systems using gcc3.

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2006-07-09 17:00:24 UTC

Red Hat Linux 9 and Fedora Core < 4 are deprecated since longer time now and 
shouldn't be used anywhere except with Fedora Legacy. What you're trying to
do is heavily unsupported. And Red Hat Enterprise Linux was never and will
never be a playground system for such obvious backports. Therefore suggesting
to close with WONTFIX/DEFERRED.
