Proposed patch is ready but it won't be applied before guile2 gets into distribution. Check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704527#c16 for more info. Is there a relatively easy way to install guile 2.0 on Fedora 16 ? If so, I can experiment with it to see if I can patch GnuCash to work around the swig issues. F16 builds of guile-2.0.3 are available here: http://mlichvar.fedorapeople.org/tmp/guile/ Created attachment 663869 [details] Fix deprecated symbols in swig 2.0.8 Bug 704527 contains a patch that will make swig work with guile 2, but not with guile 1.8. This patch was also sent upstream, but there is no reaction so far. It is unlikely to get accepted, because the last comments even wanted guile 1.6 compatibility. So I have created an improved patch for swig 2.0.8. With this patch swig can work with guile 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0. It removes all deprecated warnings that were generated with guile 2.0 and fixes the blocking issue for which the patch in bug 704527 was written originally. I have successfully used it to build gnucash (development branch) with guile 2. I will also send this patch upstream. Hopefully it will be accepted. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 I have worked with upstream swig developers to get the guile 2 support merged in. As of yesterday, all fixes required for swig to generate proper guile 2 compatible wrappers have been merged in master. The next swig version (2.0.10) will have proper guile 2 support. I have no idea of their release plans though. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. swig-2.0.10-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/swig-2.0.10-1.fc19 Package swig-2.0.10-1.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing swig-2.0.10-1.fc19' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10185/swig-2.0.10-1.fc19 then log in and leave karma (feedback). swig-2.0.10-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
