Bug#939974: osmo-trx FTBFS: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN5boost6system16generic_categoryEv'

[Harald Welte]

This is actually a bug that Debian introduces by patching its uhd pacakge, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=940135

Maybe the osmo-trx / debian-mobcom package maintainers can talk to the uhd 
package maintainer.

Bug#939974: osmo-trx FTBFS: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN5boost6system16generic_categoryEv'

[Pau Espin Pedrol]

Hi,

sorry for late response regarding this topic in here.

Related osmocom ticket can be found here: https://osmocom.org/issues/4182

As I mentioned in last comments of that ticket, I think the build 
failure in testing and unstable (building fine in stable) comes from the 
fact that this patch was applied in debian's UHD package: 
https://sources.debian.org/patches/uhd/3.14.1.0-2/fix-pkg-config


I'm not sure why this patch was applied (I don't see a similar patch 
applied in UHD master in upstream). Could it be that libboost-system 
doesn't exist on some system architectures but it was unconditionally 
dropped with that patch?

While reproducible uses pbuilder, I also see the issue locally in
sbuild.
