Description Florian Weimer 2023-12-18 21:09:16 UTC

In rawhide, changes in build flags alter the results of configure detection:

checking GNU C library... no
checking for finite... no

While in Fedora 39, we have:

checking GNU C library... yes
checking for finite... yes

It is caused by treating implicit function declarations as an error. This also affects build of algol68g with Clang 16 and GCC 14.

Loss of functionality looks minor (isfinite is found and used in preference anyway), but I have not investigated this.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2023-12-18 21:09:49 UTC

I do not plan to work on this because of the missing source code and doubts whether we can re-run autoconf as required.

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:08:01 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

Don't worry, I'm working on this. There's no problem to patch configure.ac and run autoreconf.

Comment 4 Oleg Girko 2024-05-01 14:51:55 UTC

Yes, unmodified configure script fails to detect GNU C library. As a result, the Algol 68 interpreter is built without long modes support. This is not good.

Fortunately, it's easy to fix configure.ac and re-create configure script.
