Hi folks,
The pango1.0 package in unstable fails to build from source with the version
of glib2.0 in experimental, because with newer glib2.0 pango makes use of a
new API called "g_test_get_filename" which relies on G_TEST_SRCDIR being set
in the environment - but nothing in the build system is setting this.
Perhaps this is expected to be set by a newer version of automake/autoconf
rules bundled with glib, and the pango tarball was built without a new
enough version? I'm not sure; in any case, I've worked around this in
Ubuntu by just setting G_TEST_SRCDIR to the correct value to let the package
build.
In the process of debugging this, I also found that the package's 'clean'
target didn't work correctly, failing to clean up either the debian/build
tree or the debian/install tree. So the attached patch includes a fix-up
for this as well.
Corresponding changelog entry:
* debian/rules: export G_TEST_SRCDIR to work around upstream brokenness
when building with glib2.0 (>= 2.37.2): the source code expects this
variable to be set, but nothing exports it in the build system.
* debian/rules: remove the build and install dirs when we're done, so that
debian/rules clean works correctly.
Thanks,
