This probably is due to standards compliance patches for gcc 3 perhaps. If you're rebuilding it in a pure Red Hat Linux 7.2 environment, it may not rebuild cleanly at all. I am able to rebuild the package for i686, so there is definitely something different in our two environments. yshao - can you comment on this, since it is failing in ttmkfdir C++ code? /me who regrets moving ttmkfdir to the XFree86 packaging
If the build works for you, in which file and package are the symbols declared?
I have no idea personally. The package builds in the rawhide build environment. If you have skipjack beta installed, and have got all rawhide updates applied since skipjack, the package builds. If it fails to build in any other environment, it is not officially considered a bug, however generally any minor build issues will also be fixed in future builds if someone can point out what the problems are and/or attach patches which both fix them, and don't cause it to break in the supported environment. I am guessing that what you are seeing is either: 1) A missing BuildRequires somewhere or 2) One of the patches being applied for gcc 3 or somesuch is causing the build to fail in whatever your build environment is One of my build machines is running RHL 7.0, and another 7.1. Another system runs 7.2. All three systems are stock Red Hat Linux plus updates as a base. The 7.0 system includes various updated software from 7.1/7.2/rawhide as needed. All three systems rebuild the src.rpm without problems. I don't know if this is a bug, or if it is merely a problem with your particular build environment. Try commenting out the gcc3 patch for ttmkfdir is my suggestion. If that doesn't work, then perhaps yshao has something else to suggest. Other than that, I'd suggest upgrading to Skipjack + rawhide updates. C'mon, you know you want to.. everyone is doing it... peer pressure.... ;o)
Well yes, obvioulsy there's a BuildRequires missing somewhere. I'd rather upgrade as little as possible, but in the SPEC-file I found this section: # This MUST be set to 0 for 7.x builds. If it is set to 1, change it to 0, # as I sometimes need to set it to 1 while doing developmental testing. %define with_ttmkfdir 1 So I changed it to 0, and then I at least got the packages. Could it be so that this ttmkfdir never did work? I'm still curious to see where those symbols are included from, but I rather upgrade as little as possible and I guess you have better things to do as well then tracing a preprocessor anyway (-:
