Package: avida Version: 2.0b7-3 Severity: important Hi Miry,
The avida package is failing to build on alpha (all versions) because it expects IEEE-compatible floating point math while also invoking the compiler with -ffast-math: [...] if alpha-linux-gnu-gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"avida\" -DVERSION=\"2.0b7\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_NCURSES_H=1 -I. -I. -O3 -ffast-math -MT trionan.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/trionan.Tpo" \ -c -o trionan.o `test -f 'trionan.c' || echo './'`trionan.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/trionan.Tpo" ".deps/trionan.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/trionan.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi trionan.c:83:4: error: #error "Must be compiled with option -mieee" make[4]: *** [trionan.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory /build/buildd/avida-2.0b7/source/third-party/trio-1.9' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [...] A full build log can be found at <http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=avida&ver=2.0b7-3.1&arch=alpha&stamp=1128406238&file=log&as=raw>. The problem is that gcc is being invoked with -ffmast-math, which is completely the opposite of -mieee. Upstream needs to make up its mind whether it wants fast, or correct. (In Debian, gcc defaults to "correct" fwiw; but using -ffast-math overrides this.) It appears that this error can be fixed trivially by adding --enable-debug to the arguments to configure; which, btw, also enables -g -Wall, which is what Debian policy recommends anyway. Strangely, even after making this change, I get another failure further on in the source: if alpha-linux-gnu-g++ -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"avida\" -DVERSION=\"2.0b7\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_NCURSES_H=1 -I. -I. -I./../event -I../event -I./../cpu -g -Wall -pedantic -DDEBUG -MT genotype.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/genotype.Tpo" \ -c -o genotype.o `test -f 'genotype.cc' || echo './'`genotype.cc; \ then mv -f ".deps/genotype.Tpo" ".deps/genotype.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/genotype.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi inst_lib.hh:6: warning: ‘class cInstLibBase’ has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor genotype.cc:157: error: extra ‘;’ I have no idea why this error would appear on alpha but not on other architectures. Also, your debian/rules clean target isn't very clean, because upstream appears to not have a "distclean" target in the toplevel makefile...
