Description of problem: Package julia fails to build from source in Fedora Rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.2-2.fc38 Steps to Reproduce: koji build --scratch f38 julia-1.8.2-2.fc38.src.rpm Additional info: This package is tracked by Koschei. See: https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/julia Julia failed in F38 mass rebuild and is currently FTBFS. This is blocking libgit2 1.5.x update and rebuilds.
Hi, Perhaps, the problems you had may be associated to julia now needing ILP64? I was able to build version 1.8.5 on openSUSE (15.4 - I'm just a user), but had to compile many packages using customized compiler settings. I posted the following observations there: "Some of the libraries were a bit more laborious to adjust, and I had to patch their building process, but seems to be fine now. Also, needed to fix the rpm .spec files. Now, as a last decision, would be nice to establish what will be used for library suffix and include files (mainly). My suggestion is to put them under "%{_libdir}/ilp64" and "%{_includedir}/ilp64". Even though this simple step seems to fix most of the problems, I had an error while building SuiteSparse and it's mongoose library picking the installed regular Suitesparse suitesparseconfig, so, I suggest really adding _ilp64 to libraries to prevent this kind of error, or others that could arise from using just the regular names and risk ld picking the wrong library." "It would be wise to talk with Fedora maintainers also, just to have some common basic location settings to easy the testing done by upstream developers." I'm still digging what others think are the best practices. So, if you have some suggestions, I'm all ears.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.

Sorry for the delay. The failure wasn't due to ILP64 BLAS but to an obscure error on 32-bit. I've disabled that architecture as it now fails with an out of memory error. André, building a Julia RPM package is indeed very tricky to do. You can have a look at the .spec file to see how it's done in Fedora. Regarding ILP64 BLAS, we have special OpenBLAS packages for that, installed under /lib[64]/, but with a "64.so" suffix (and "64_.so" for the variant that Julia uses, which suffixes symbol names with "_64" to avoid clashes with LP64 BLAS).
