Description Frédéric Bérat 2024-01-04 14:22:16 UTC
The component fails to build with autoconf 2.72 due to its use of Autoconf internal variables in its configure.ac file.

the following section needs to be adapted (or better removed):

dnl *************************************
dnl *** Checks for large file support ***
dnl *************************************
AC_ARG_ENABLE([largefile],
	      AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-largefile],
	      [enable support for large files [[default=yes]]]),,
	      [enable_largefile="yes"])

[...]
    if test "x$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits" != "xno"; then
        LFS_CFLAGS="$LFS_CFLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits"
        enable_largefile="yes"
    fi
else
    LFS_CFLAGS=""
fi
AM_CONDITIONAL(ENABLE_LARGEFILE, test "x$enable_largefile" = "xyes")

The main problem of this section being the check against `$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits` which no longer exists. Leading to further failures.

AC_SYS_LARGEFILE will define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS if necessary.

Reproducible: Always
