Package: riby-ffi Version: 1.9.10debian-1 This package fails to build from source on the hppa architecture, as can be seen here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ruby-ffi&arch=hppa&ver=1.9.10debian-1&stamp=1474922680
Failure is: rspec ./spec/ffi/typedef_spec.rb:76 # Custom type definitions detects the correct type for size_t I'm no expert in ruby, but I would like to fix this bug. I assume that the main problem is, that in a specific (new) file lib/ffi/platform/hppa-linux is missing, which will have the correlation between C-types and ruby-types. Can someone point me out how I can generate that file for hppa, and how I can integrate it into the ruby source ? Any help would be great. Alternatively, I can provide ssh access to one of our debian hppa machines if people want to test/debug themselves. It's important for us to get this build failure fixed, because ruby-ffi seems to be used in multiple debian core packages, like (indirectly in) vtk6 and others and as such it prevents us to build other packages. Thanks, Helge
