Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 00:49:12 UTC

Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  jpilot-backup appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/jpilot-backup/jpilot-backup-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

Normally I would, but the Palm Pilot platform has been dead for a while so I went the lazy route. But do tell if you would prefer me to work with upstream anyway.

Tried autoconf in %prep but seemed not to work ('grep aarch64 config*' in the directory mock builds in came back empty)

Tried autoreconf, no joy either.

done and checked into master. Thank you for the patch.

FWIW; F18 local build (x86_64) and F19 scratch builds for all of i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64 and armv7hl (but not aarch64) worked fine.

scratch builds are here:
