  • 1.  gettext-0.20.2-1: package rebuild error

    Posted Mon March 01, 2021 11:19 AM
    i need to rebuild the gettext package, alas an compiler error is thrown. all dependencies are up to date and no noteworthy changes are made (just disabled this stupid iconv hardcode patch). so just a plain rpmbuild -ba gettext-0.20.2-1.spec.

    this error is a little bit odd, as gcc 8.3  is used?!

    In file included from ./localename.c:34:
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/8/include-fixed/string.h:364:19: error: conflicting types for 'wcscoll_l'

    any hints?

    Probably you need to create the pre-processing file to figure out the issue. 
    Capture the entire compilation command, add " -E ", run it manually and capture the generated pre-processing file. 
    Then you can look for "wcscoll_l" in the file and see the conflicting declarations.

    the preprocessor output revealed nothing really helpful...

​


    commenting out the definitions in /opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/8/include-fixed/wchar.h makes compilation go through, but editing compiler internal files is not a valid fix.
     especially as there are more errors about to come along...

    gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DEXEEXT=\"\" -I. -I..  -I../intl -I../intl -DDEPENDS_ON_LIBICONV=1 -DDEPENDS_ON_LIBINTL=1  -D_THREAD_SAFE  -g -O2 -c -o propername.o propername.c

           if (MB_CUR_MAX > 1)
           ^~

gmake[6]: Leaving directory '/home/packagebuilder/rpmbuild/BUILD/gettext-0.20.2/64bit/gettext-runtime/gnulib-lib'



     so how for heavens sake did you ever get this stuff build correctly?  any special settings in your build env which i'am not aware off?

    We built gettext in AIX 6.1 ( like most of the packages in Toolbox ) and AIX 6.1 don't have these conflicting functions ( wcscoll_l & wcsxfrm_l ).
    These are introduced in AIX 7.1. I will trigger a build in AIX 7.1 and see how it goes.

    You need to disable patch4 in the spec file as it is applicable only for AIX 6.1 
    Also the following patch is required.

    after ruling out some local idiocy, the package built successfully, thank you for your support. one thing, i noticed that "slibclean" is called somewhere in the specfile, as this is a "root only" command this can not be executed as my build user (not even with sudo), and building as root is a no go.how did you accomplish that?

    We use RBAC settings for build user.

    # lssecattr -c /usr/sbin/slibclean
    /usr/sbin/slibclean accessauths=aix.system.config.kext.global,aix.system.config.kext.wpar innateprivs=PV_KER_VARS,PV_KER_CONF secflags=FSF_EPS
    # mkrole authorizations=aix.system.config.kext.global buildrole
    # chuser roles=buildrole default_roles=buildrole buildusr
    # setkst

    Login again as buildusr, you will be able to execute slibclean command.
