Hi subversion, unbound and swig maintainers,
we in the Reproducible Builds effort use a non default dpkg which export
-Wdate-time through dpkg-buildflags.
There are package that pass CPPFLAGS (for example) quite unchanged to swig.
Sadly swig does not recognize -Wdate-time and choke and fail on it badly, e.g.
/usr/bin/swig -I. -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include/python2.7
-I/usr/include/python2.7 -o pythonmod/interface.h -python
./pythonmod/interface.i
swig error : Unrecognized option -Wdate-time
Use 'swig -help' for available options.
Makefile:369: recipe for target 'pythonmod/interface.h' failed
make[1]: *** [pythonmod/interface.h] Error 1
Needless to say, I'd like to build those packages with such flag (that we also
would like to get into the default set, see the bug #762683 for a start).
Possible solutions i see for this:
a. swig stops failing so badly on unrecognized options. If you really want to
validate the options at least stop failing on unrecognized -W? Seems quite
logical to pass CPPFLAGS to swig to me, and as such sounds sane
b. people stop passing CPPFLAGS to swig. I've already saw a "CPPFLAGS cleaner"
on subversion's configure script. Please I don't want to see another
Even if I do have preference I don't have a strong opinion on this, so if you
agree this is not a bug in swig (which I could even accept, given that the
accepted flags are well documented), I'll just clone+reassign this bug around.
Thanks for maintaining such packages!
