Description Richard W.M. Jones 2008-08-31 19:10:44 UTC 
Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/haxe.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/haxe-2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm
Description: Web programming language targeting Flash, Javascript, PHP

rpmlint says:
  haxe.i386: W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/haxe
  haxe.i386: W: executable-stack /usr/bin/haxe

Yes indeed, we cannot strip the binaries because strip damages them.

The upstream "build system" (I use the term advisedly) is crazy.  It consists
of a lengthy script which downloads the sources from several CVS repositories
and then issues a series of commands to compile it.  So this spec file has
to build by hand (mostly copied from what Debian is doing).

SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/haxe-2.0-2.fc10.src.rpm

Better method of stopping rpm from stripping the binaries.

* Tue Sep  2 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 2.0-4
- Prevent prelink from stripping the binaries.
- Missing BR zlib-devel.

I've also checked this builds on x86-64.
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-09-02 12:51:54 UTC 
Ooops, ignore comment 3.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-09-02 12:52:21 UTC 
Erm, ignore comment 2, comment 3 is OK.
Comment 5 Peter Lemenkov 2011-01-20 20:40:15 UTC 
What's the status of this ticket? I'd love to see haxe in Fedora.

Do you want to take it over?
Comment 7 Till Maas 2012-05-18 16:17:20 UTC 
The spec and SRPM are not available anymore. Can you please make them available again? I would like to at least use them locally.

Created attachment 585450 [details]
haxe.spec

This is the last haxe.spec that I wrote.

I can't rebuild this because the instructions for building the
tarball have completely changed (source is now in SVN here:
https://code.google.com/p/haxe/source/checkout ).
Comment 9 Adam Goode 2015-01-17 22:24:19 UTC 
Haxe is now at http://haxe.org/download/

It is hosted with github.
Comment 10 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-01-19 14:09:31 UTC 
I'm going to close this bug.  It needs a bunch of work to make the
spec file work again with upstream haxe.  Someone needs to take
this over.
