Hi, great that bsnes has finally been uploaded to unstable. However, the package is broken, it doesn't build from source (FTBFS). The problem appears to be a hardwired version of gcc. The Makefile explicitly calls gcc-4.5/g++-4.5 which are not available on testing and unstable anymore.
The compilers are set in the following Makefiles in the bsnes source: bsnes/nall/Makefile snesfilter/nall/Makefile snespurify/phoenix/nall/Makefile snespurify/nall/Makefile The compiler version is set to 4.5 when neither Windows or MacOS are used: ifeq ($(compiler),) ifeq ($(platform),win) compiler := gcc else ifeq ($(platform),osx) compiler := gcc-mp-4.5 else compiler := gcc-4.5 endif endif The C++ compiler binary is then generated by regexp replace in the other Makefiles: # compiler c := $(compiler) -std=gnu99 cpp := $(subst cc,++,$(compiler)) -std=gnu++0x for example in bsnes/Makefile. The resulting build messages show the attempted invocation of g++-4.5: make[2]: Entering directory `/build/buildd-bsnes_0.080-1-armel-UONOIG/bsnes-0.080/bsnes' g++-4.5 -std=gnu++0x -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -DPROFILE_COMPATIBILITY -c ui/main.cpp -o obj/ui-main.o make[2]: g++-4.5: Command not found make[2]: *** [obj/ui-main.o] Error 127 See the build logs here [1]. There is actually already a Debian patch which adresses this issue for the subdirectory "snespurify", but apparently not for the remaining subdirectories. The patch is found at debian/patches/build-snespurify-with-g++-4.6.patch. Patching the other Makefiles mentioned above should fix the FTBFS.
