Description Christian Hechelmann 2001-07-08 22:31:24 UTC
Description of Problem:

gal-0.8-4 from rawhide fails to build when no previous version of gal is
installed. This comes from a patch in this version (libgal-borken.patch)
which resolves some dependency problems but introduces others.
The patch adds $(GAL_LIBS) to the link command for libgal.(a|so). When 
doing a fresh, pristine build there is no libgal present in the system, so
the link will fail, but when there is a leftover libgal from a previous 
install is present the new one is linked against the old code, which may 
introduce some interesting effects.

Also, po/Makefile is broken (doesn't use $(DESTDIR)), so locale files
do not make it to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT, instead they end up und 
/usr/share/locale on the build system (when built as root), or aren't 
installed at all due to permission problems (non-root build).
