Summary:	FTBFS on Debian testing amd64
Product:	Ghostscript	Reporter:	Joshua Beck <jxb091000>
Component:	Build Process	Assignee:	Chris Liddell (chrisl) <chris.liddell>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	major
Priority:	P4
Version:	master
Hardware:	PC
OS:	Linux
Customer:		Word Size:	---
Attachments:	Patch to fix build errors

Description Joshua Beck 2011-12-19 08:34:09 UTC

It fails with this error:

In file included from ./psi/zdevcal.c:16:0:
./base/time_.h:49:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct timeval’
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/time.h:75:8: note: originally defined here

The included patch fixes the error and allows it to build. It's based on Debian's ghostscript patch #2003.

I fixed this problem some time ago (without resorting to distribution specific variables in a cross platform makefile):

I would be obliged if you could test my solution in the Debian build environment, and reopen this bug if you find a problem with it.

Your fix works!

If your most up-to-date repository is in git, you should update your website. The first result that comes up for "ghostscript repository" is this: http://svn.ghostscript.com/ . The first link it gives for ghostscript links to the svn repository.

Comment 4 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2011-12-20 08:18:35 UTC

Apologies for the website confusion. The link on the main page ( www.ghostscript.com ) have been updated, I hadn't realised the svn page was still accessible. I'll look into it.....


Glad the fix is working okay.
