Can't rebuild xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:21 EST
Description of problem: I want to add some functionality to xorg-x11, and I couldn't rebuilt the patched src.rpm. I then tried with the original one and failed, too. The build host is an updated RHEL4U2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20.src.rpm 2.rpmbuild 3. Actual results: rm -f scanpci gcc -m32 -o scanpci -O2 -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -L../../../../../exports/lib scanpci.o -L../os-support -lxf86_os -L../scanpci -lscanpci -L../dummylib -ldummy -Wl,-rpath-link,../../../../../exports/lib ../os-support/libxf86_os.a(libc_wrapper.o)(.text+0x182d): In function `xf86getpagesize': : multiple definition of `xf86getpagesize' scanpci.o(.text+0x1a41): first defined here /usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `xf86getpagesize' changed from 10 in scanpci.o to 103 in ../os-support/libxf86_os.a(libc_wrapper.o) ../os-support/libxf86_os.a(libc_wrapper.o)(.text+0x1561): In function `xf86sqrt': : undefined reference to `sqrt' ../os-support/libxf86_os.a(libc_wrapper.o)(.text+0x5): In function `xf86hypot': : undefined reference to `hypot' ../os-support/libxf86_os.a(libc_wrapper.o)(.text+0xd7): In function `xf86strlcat': : undefined reference to `strlcat' [...] Expected results: Additional info: Maybe the glibc update in RHEL4U2 is causing the trouble? Thanks!
For official Red Hat Enterprise Linux support, please log into the Red Hat support website at http://www.redhat.com/support and file a support ticket, or alternatively contact Red Hat Global Support Services at 1-888-RED-HAT1 to speak directly with a support associate and escalate an issue. If you require technical assistance for rpm package development related issues, another avenue that might be useful is rpm-list@redhat.com Hope this helps. Setting status to "NOTABUG"
Thanks Mike, but I think you read over the bug report a bit too fast. The issue is not "how do I patch up a src.rpm", but that the *original unaltered* src.rpm for RHEL4U2 does not build on RHEL4U2. It isn't NOTABUG, if the reprocability of the build isn't important at this time I suggest to make that WONTFIX. Although a fix would be most welcome. FWIW the rebuild on x86_64 has a different failure when collecting pieces in %files, while FC4 and FC3 src.rpms build OK in their native environment for both i386 and x86_64.
The package we shipped in U2 was built with U2. It rebuilds on all 7 architectures on U2 presently, and it rebuilds on U2 installed on 2 machines locally, as well as on FC4 and rawhide. This is not a "WONTFIX" issue, it really is "NOTABUG". You are having a local compilation issue. Try reinstalling your OS, and removing ccache or other things that might affect the output of your compile. If you continue to have problems, please feel free to use Red Hat or X.Org mailing lists to assist you in determining the root cause of your problem. Hope this helps.
