It took a while, but I finally figured it out. Actually, it's not that
patch that is broken but the build system.
Running the test suite after debian/rules build (with applied patch)
gives us this:
torsten@defiant:~/debwork/swig/builddir$ make check-python-test-suite
checking python test-suite
checking python testcase argcargvtest (with run test)
/home/torsten/debwork/swig/Lib/swig.swg:425: Error: Syntax error in
input(1).
[...]
This can be fixed as follows:
torsten@defiant:~/debwork/swig/builddir$ cp Source/CParse/parser.h
../Source/CParse/
torsten@defiant:~/debwork/swig/builddir$ make
[...]
torsten@defiant:~/debwork/swig/builddir$ make check-python-test-suite
checking python test-suite
checking python testcase argcargvtest (with run test)
checking python testcase callback (with run test)
checking python testcase complextest (with run test)
[...]
Obviously, this is wrong. Interestingly, the build uses the right
parser.c but the wrong parser.h.
I consider building the whole thing inline as this is not the first
problem with the out of tree build. However, I don't think this is a
good idea for a proposed-updates upload. So I'll try to find a way to
fix this in the build system.
Greetings, Torsten
