Hello all, I am having a problem with one of my packages failing on s390. It builds fine on other architectures (except where I messed up with a bad build-depends on a build-essential). The problem with s390 is here:
# Add here commands to configure the package.
./configure --host=s390-linux --build=s390-linux \
--prefix=/usr --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --exec-prefix=/usr\

It looked to me like automake/autoconf aren't correctly
parsing the string passed to them by dpkg-architecture (from
debian/rules), so I wrote to my sponsor about it. He wrote back:
> It seems like an autoconf/automake problem.

and I have done so, but this just makes the build fail altogether with a
lot of undefined refernces to functions. This package won't build at
all with autoconf2.52, and so I'm explicitly build-depending on
autoconf2.13. The complete build-log is at:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=kcdlabel&ver=2.7-1&arch=s390&stamp=1035140946&file=log&as=raw
and source can be downloaded from
http://www.lobefin.net/~steve/debian/pool/main/ - this is the fixed
version that doesn't depend on build-essentials. If anyone has any
suggestions, I am all ears. automake is not one of my strengths, and I
would like to sort this out.
Thanks,
Steve
