Patch which eliminates mailformed symbol from configure.in
I believe this is fixed in current tarballs. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Compiling xmms from sources I received strange error message just after configuration stage: #make cd . && autoheader WARNING: Using auxiliary files such as `acconfig.h', `config.h.bot' WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in' WARNING: is deprecated and discouraged. WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and WARNING: `AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED' allows to define a template without WARNING: `acconfig.h': WARNING: AC_DEFINE([NEED_MAIN], 1, WARNING: [Define if a function `main' is needed.]) WARNING: More sophisticated templates can also be produced, see the WARNING: documentation. Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa0, with no preceding start byte) at /users/compiler/tmp/ahYkkldA/traces .pl line 350. autoheader: `config.h.in' is updated cd . \ && CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h \ /bin/sh ./config.status creating config.h make all-recursive As a result config.h contain unprintable symbol which may cause compilation error for some compilers. I found that mailformed UTF-8 character comes from configure.in : line 592 (AC_DEFINE(DISABLE_USER_PLUGIN_DIR,,.[Define to disable per user plugin directory])). Probably you typed it occasionally; it should be removed to increase Red Hat Linux portablity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build binaries from source rpms. 2. 3. Actual Results: autoheader emits warning. If you use compiler that doesn't ignore mailformed symbols you will get compilation error. Expected Results: Smoothly built package. Additional info: I'll attach the patch which removes mailformed symbol from configure.in.
