Package: src:fasm Version: 1.73.06-1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Dear maintainer:
Commands in a Makefile should be chained with "&&" so that the first thing which fails makes the whole process to stop. This is Policy 4.6, "error trapping in makefiles", and it's usually considered a serious issue: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#error-trapping-in-makefiles Proposed patch below. Unfortunately, the patch will not make the package to build again and it needs to be "bootstrapped" again (my theory is that the package was misbuilt the last time because of this, but I'm not completely sure). Would not be possible to build the program using the standard assembler? I would do that if possible, that way we could eliminate the build-dependency on itself. Thanks. --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ include /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk override_dh_install: mkdir -p debian/tmp - (cd source/libc; fasm fasm.asm; gcc $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -m32 fasm.o -o fasm) + cd source/libc && fasm fasm.asm && gcc $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -m32 fasm.o -o fasm override_dh_clean: dh_clean
