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that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because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:
Library package automatic movement utility
/usr/bin/d-shlibmove: expected [debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/libgtkdatabox.so]
to be a symlink, but it is not
make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit
status 2
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
