[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#670073: octave-nan: FTBFS on hurd-i386

[Pino Toscano]

Package: octave-nan
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

currently[1], octave-nan does not compile on GNU/Hurd.

The problem is that it tries to include <machine/endian.h> if BSD is
defined (which is on Hurd, since it initially wanted to be
BSD-compatible, somehow). Anyhow, the attached patch avoids that
#include in Hurd, and enabling <byteswap.h> on any GNU libc platform
(since GNU libc provides that header) to have optimized byte swapping
macros on GNU/Hurd and also on GNU/kFreeBSD too.

Thanks,
