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that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because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:
dh_testdir
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libjpeg \
--mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \
--infodir=\${prefix}/share/info
creating cache ./config.cache
aux/config.guess: unable to guess system type
This script, last modified 2009-12-30, 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
....
The full log could be found at
http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/jpeginfo_1.6.0-5_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 did some tests (as in ppc64el) and the patch solves the problem and doesn't
seem to add any regression.
Thank you,
Breno
