Bug#756314: libidl: use dh-autoreconf to fix FTBFS on ppc64el

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Control: tags -1 + pending

Hi,

The unability to compile this package is a problem for ports being
added recently (OpenRISC/or1k, ppc64el, ...) since they don't have
older versions to rely on, and many packages depend on them as
build-dependencies to compile, so this package (among many others) is
blocking a good portion of the archive to compile cleanly for these
ports.

I am preparing a NMU (diff attached) to fix the bugs above (see
headers), uploaded immediately as per guidelines in [1] -- since this
package is needed to compile many other packages, the package is
orphan, and the changes should not affect the behaviour of the package
in the other architectures.

[1] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu



Please let me know if you want me to cancel the upload, or can assist
you in any way.

Bug#756314: libidl: use dh-autoreconf to fix FTBFS on ppc64el

[Brahadambal Srinivasan]

Package: libidl
Version: 0.8.14
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el
User: debian-de...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: autoreconf

Dear Maintainer,

The package libidl fails to build on ppc64le, because of changes
required in config.{guess,sub}. This patch includes
dh-autoreconf to the build so that it builds correctly.

Thanks and regards,
Brahadambal
