Make error building enigmail for Debian Lenny AMD64

[andyr]

I'm trying to build enigmail for Debian Lenny AMD64 using the same procedure I used to build for Seamonkey on Ubuntu 8.10 but am getting the following error :

Code: Select all

Any clues as to what I need to do?

Which version of gcc do you use?

I have a similar issue. Enigmail build fails on Debian Lenny AMD64:

I'm building enigmail for Thunderbird trunk. Thunderbird build log can be found at http://swsoft.nsu.ru/~kadashev/home2/nightly-builds/logs/thunderbird-2008-11-27.log

My configuration:
Debian Lenny AMD64,
gcc: 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1)
ld: 2.18.0.20080103

[patrick]

In this case, I should point you to this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246421

It seems that gcc 4.3.2 on amd64 doesn't work correctly with Thunderbird/Enigmail and Linux.

[andyr]

I'm going to install 4.2 and try the build again. However, as the packages built by Debian are built using 4.3 should I expect that my build of enigmail (assuming a successful build) will experience problems with the Debian released Iceweasel?

[dkadashev]

I've already tried to use gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.1. And binutils 2.19. It didn't help.

There are some similar bugs in Gentoo and Debian BTS. And there are some patches in Debian version of enigmail (v0.95). I've tried applying Debian visibility patch, and it didn't help.

I'm quite busy now and can't give much time to this issue. But I'll try to find a solution later.

[dkadashev]

The problem is that static libraries, which are built w/o -fPIC by default, are used to build dynamic objects (which need -fPIC). This can work on i386, but can't on amd64. Attached patch (which forces using of -fPIC for libenigmime and libipc) fixes problem. It's not the best solution (since it possibly have performance impact), but it works.

One question: when I'm building xpi, I'm getting the following message: "cp: cannot stat `components/libipc.so': No such file or directory". But built package works well. Is it OK, or it needs fixing?

I can't attach patch (getting message "The extension patch is not allowed"), so here it goes:

Thanks, I'll try the patch on 32-bit platforms.

Regarding the error about libipc.so: it's not needed/created unless you build IPC without Enigmail.

Edit: The Windows and Linux 32-bit builds have succeeded; I have added the patch to CVS.
