Description Piepho, Trent 2003-04-10 18:28:29 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021203

Description of problem:
The vconfig utility is a simple program written in C, but the non-automake build
system compiles it with g++ (for no reason).  This gives the program a
dependency on the libstdc++, one that it doesn't need.  It also makes it hard to
run the program from a thin-client or rescue mode situation where the c++
runtime might not be available or the correct version. Fixing this is as simple
as adding CC=gcc to the make command in the %build section of the spec file.  Or
editing the MakeInclues file to specify the correct compiler.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vconfig-1.6-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. uhh, build rpm?

Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2004-08-04 10:29:35 EDT

I've just checked, it already compiles correctly in FC1 and later.

I'm therefore closing it as fixed in currentrelease.

Read ya, Phil
