Source: snmpkit
Version: 0.9-16
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
X-Debbugs-Cc: i...@hack3r.moe
Dear maintainer(s),
snmpkit failed to build from source due to newly adopted ISO C++17 not allowing
dynamic exception specifications:
```
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..
-g -O2 -g -O2 -MT ber.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ber.Tpo -c -o ber.lo ber.C
libtool: compile: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -g -O2 -MT ber.lo -MD
-MP -MF .deps/ber.Tpo -c ber.C -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ber.o
In file included from ber.C:36:
ber.h:118:5: error: ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications
118 | throw(BerNullTagException,BerNullLengthExecption);
| ^~~~~
ber.h:129:5: error: ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications
129 | throw(BerIntTagException,BerIntLengthExecption);
| ^~~~~
ber.h:141:5: error: ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications
141 | throw(BerCounterTagException,BerCounterLengthExecption);
| ^~~~~
ber.h:153:5: error: ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications
153 | throw(BerTimeTickTagException,BerTimeTickLengthExecption);
| ^~~~~
...
```
I've included a patch that pins the stardard g++ uses to C++11, which
deprecates and warns that instead of errors. If more help is needed, please let
me know.
Cheers,
Eric
