Missing build dependency: gcc-c++
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:45 EST
Description of problem: Unless gcc-c++ is installed, the build will fail because it can't find cc1plus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gmime-2.2.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove gcc-c++ 2. rpmbuild -ba gmime.spec 3. Actual results: <... deleted ...> checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. error: Bad exit status from /home/bjohnson/rpms/tmp/rpm-tmp.84327 (%build) Bad exit status from /home/bjohnson/rpms/tmp/rpm-tmp.84327 (%build) Expected results: Successful compile. Additional info:
/lib/cpp is not c++ related. Its the C preprocessor. And, its in the minimal set apps don't have to buildrequire (gcc requires it). Anyway, configure finds it, but it fails, so its either a local setup issue at your place or a cpp bug.
Actually, even though it says it is a /lib/cpp problem it wants cc1plus (this is in the config.log), which is in gcc-c++. I didn't think gcc-c++ was on the minimal build environment package list (looking at FE here), but I was wrong. I'll assume that FC is the same.
Well, it has to be, because it built in the buildsystem, and that only uses minimal reqs + build reqs.
