Description Fedora Release Engineering 2022-08-01 23:26:37 UTC
eterm failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f37

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=89771157


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_37_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix eterm at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
eterm will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 38,
eterm will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2022-08-09 13:25:20 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2022-09-06 14:23:05 UTC
It passes on x86_64, but fails on ppc64 and aarch64:

checking for transparency support... yes
checking for MMX support... no (no MMX detected)
checking for SSE2 support... no (no SSE2 detected)
checking for libast-config... libast-config
checking for libast_set_program_name in -last... no
ERROR:  You need LibAST 0.5 or higher to build Eterm.  If you already have it,
        you may have it installed in a strange place, or you may need to run
        /sbin/ldconfig.  If you don't have it, I can download it for you.
        Shall I retrieve and build LibAST now (y/n)?
configure: error: Fatal:  libast not found.

Comment 6 Terje Røsten 2022-09-13 18:31:57 UTC
A bit puzzled by this, both eterm and libast have been more or less unmodified last 15 years.
