Dear Maintainer,
Currently this package FTBFS when compiled in new architectures (as ppc64el)
that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because
it fails to understand that the new architectures has support for shared
libraries, as shown below:
Checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
../build-aux/config.guess: unable to guess system type
This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD
If the version you run (../build-aux/config.guess) is already up to
date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <[email protected]> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.
The full log could be found at
ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/openvswitch_2.1.0+git20140411-3_ppc64el.build
I created this patch that call autoreconf to updates the autotool files during
the build, as suggest by the following wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build
I tested it on ppc64el and it worked.
Thank you,
Breno
