Bug 191582

I'm getting a build error in mock during configure:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic
-fsigned-char -DXF86VIDMODE -lXxf86vm) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.65804 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.65804 (%build)

Well it works fine for me can you lift the actual gcc error from config.log that
might help.

$ cat
/var/lib/mock/fedora-5-x86_64-core/root/builddir/build/BUILD/xgalaga-2.0.34/config.log

*** MUST ***

- You MUST figure out why FC5 needs to add a BuildRequires of libXxf86vm-devel
and why this is not needed for your build (presumably FC6)


Non-blocking SHOULDs:

- Be more consistant with macro usage, for example %{__sed}, but no %{__rm} etc.
- I also prefer %{buildroot} instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT, but that is a matter of
preference.  I just think spec files look cleaner when everything consistantly
uses %{} format.  So basically I'm saying you should use a clean more legible
consistant style in your spec files, but I'm not going to say this is a blocker
or should be fixed, just a suggestion.
- Let me know that the name xgalaga isn't going to be a problem with Namco. 
I've heard the Lgames are not allowed because the names are too close to the
original, is this going to be a problem?
- Return the favor by reviewing some of my packages ;-)

One other minor thing I noticed:

cat > README.fedora << EOF

The latest Fedora xgalaga package also includes fullscreen support, start
xgalaga with -window to get the old windowed behaviour. You can switch on the
fly between window and fullscreen mode with alt+enter .
EOF

The word "behaviour" is not American English.  It should be "behavior".  In
addition there should not be a space before the final period.

Chris and I had a private discussion about this by email because BZ was down,
copy and pasting it here for future reference:

Hi Chris,

Bugzilla is down so I'm doing it this way. Thanks for the review.

About the missing BR I failed to add that its needed for the devel branch too,
things just worked on my system because I already had the needed devel-package
installed.

About the name, I wans't sure about this myself, so now I've changed the name to
xgalaxy (googled, not taken already).

New SRPM and spec are at:

Hans

The name is most likely not a problem, because the people with the rights to the
original name probably don't care. xgalaga has existed under this name for a
long time without trouble.

Then again the name had both me and you worried and those are valid worries the
name is a legal problem. Even if the other party _probably_ doesn't care it
still is a legal issue. It is the _probably_ that scares me and untill the "upto
now" part of upto now this hasn't been a problem. If the people with the rights
to the name one day all of a sudden do start caring, or get a grudge against OSS
we've a problem, which I would rather avoid. Since I've already done the hard
work of renaming (and recreating the "logo") I think its best / safest to stick
with the new name.

Regards,

Hans

New rpm is STILL missing libXxf86vm-devel.

Oops you're right, I did put adding it in the changelog, but I didn't actually
do this.

Imported & Build,

Thanks!
