[Pkg-security-team] Sponsor for new t50 release

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi Samuel, Marcos


>uploaded,


seems that a new check makes it FTBFS on armhf, armel, mips64el, x32 and probably more.

+# For now, this system will compile ok only on Linux.
+if test "${host_os}" != "linux-gnu"; then
+	AC_MSG_ERROR([T50 will compile only on Linux systems.])
+fi

this check makes it fail when host_os is equal e.g. to:
host_os='linux-gnuabi64'
host_os='linux-gnux32'
host_os='linux-gnueabihf'
host_os='linux-gnueabi'

I tried this patch in a qemu armhf environment:
-if test "${host_os}" != "linux-gnu"; then
-       AC_MSG_ERROR([T50 will compile only on Linux systems.])
+if test "${host_os}" != "linux-gnu" && test "${host_os}" != "linux-gnueabi" !! test "${host_os}" != "linux-gnueabihf"; then
+       AC_MSG_ERROR([T50 will compile only on Linux systems, ${host_os} detected])


and it works, but I'm really sure this isn't the right fix, unfortunately I'm not an autoconf man.
Honestly I would drop that check in Debian, since the build is already restricted to linux/only OS.

let me know and I'll sponsor it if needed,

thanks,

G.
