Package: open-axiom Version: 1.4.1+svn~2626-2 Severity: Important Tags: patch
The package fails to build on many arches, because configure erroneously tries to add -m32/-m64 in CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS. This should be left out, IMHO, as after some quick tests, host_lisp_precision was equal to the architecture bitsize (i.e. 64-bits on 64-bit systems, and 32-bits on 32-bit systems). Commenting this part in config/open-axiom.m4 enabled the successful build of the package on both amd64 and armhf (those I could test). Unless there is an important reason to leave the explicit -m32/-m64 in there I'd suggest it's commented out. Regards Konstantinos
