Bill: Excuse me for being presumptuous in marking this bug as assigned to you, but havill got the mail from bugzilla when I filed this bug, and he says you're the person I should be talking to you, so I wanted to make sure you were in the loop. *** Bug 61960 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Agree with Charles here, a more current version of pan is warranted because there have been many good feature enhancements and bugfixes, as well as performance improvements. 0.9.7 is quite out of date. Please update Pan from the RAWHIDE destribution, to at least version 0.11.2, since it is impossible to post to newsgroups with the shipped version, without pan crashing.. Fabian Olesen Yes.I started to maintianenc 2 week ago. Now 0.11.1 has been rebuilt for 7.3 in rawhide. I met some troubles when rebuilt 0.11.2 for 7.3. What problem did you encounter when building 0.11.2 for 7.3? I'll try to fix it for you. Should I try to build on Skipjack? Created attachment 52165 [details]
rebuilding 0.11.2 on 7.3
The rebuilding log is attached. It is appreciated if you can help to rebuild 0.11.2 on 7.3. I just finished downloading the last skipjack last night, and now there's another release.. :) I'll redownload & try to get Pan building on skipjack beta 2 this weekend. Thanks very much,your help is greatly appreciated.:-) Please tell me how you resolve the problem. Bill,
I'm one of the Pan developers and I've done a bit of work on the spec file. I
think I know what's going on here.
Basically, I suspect you are now building with the spec file contained in Pan's
tarball, whereas before RedHat used their own spec file. Perhaps you can find
out which spec file was used for the 0.11.1 in RawHide ?
I think you can get Pan's spec file to work by removing the following line:
cp /usr/share/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in po
This line is there for historic reasons: it made sure that, when building the
rpm, we got the version of Makefile.in.in that came with gettext 0.10.35 (or
later). We copied it in, just in case the tarball packager didn't have that
version yet. We needed that version, because it supports DESTDIR, which we need
to copy the translation files during install. I never really liked that
solution, and now I remember why. :-)
The problem you're seeing is that Skipjack uses gettext 0.11. The Makefile.in.in
in that version seems to be different, in that it doesn't directly define the
variable 'top_builddir' (it seems to get pulled in from po/Makevars, but I
haven't had time to investigate that).
If you remove that copy from the spec, you can just build with the included
Makefile.in.in, and the build should proceed fine. Alternatively, you can
switch to RH's own spec file for Pan.
Hope this helps,
Christophe
Christophe:Thanks for your advice.Now I switch to RH's spec file for pan and the building is passed. |
