Source: xchpst
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs upstream
Justification: fails to build from source
User: [email protected]
Usertags: glibc-2.43
Dear maintainer(s),
xchpst fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in
experimental. From the build log:
| options.c: In function ‘parse_limits’:
| options.c:283:7: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer
target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
| 283 | sep = strchr(arg, ':');
| | ^
| cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
| make[1]: *** [<builtin>: options.o] Error 1
| make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
| make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/xchpst-0.8.1'
| dh_auto_build: error: make -j128 INSTALL="install --strip-program=true"
returned exit code 2
| make: *** [debian/rules:12: binary] Error 25
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess failed with exit
status 2
The full build log is available here [1].
The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, memchr, strchr,
strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr,
which now returns a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input
argument is a pointer to a const-qualified type [2].
I would like to thanks Emanuele Rocca for doing the archive rebuild on
a fast arm64 server.
Regards
Aurelien
