Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 00:50:13 UTC

Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  kdewebdev 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/kdewebdev/kdewebdev-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

kdewebdev.spec already runs:
make -f admin/Makefile.common cvs
which reruns autoconf.

I'm not sure why but that has issues for aarch64. Once it's automake you should be able to do "grep aarch64 admin/config.guess" and get some output but it's blank. 

Sample output would be something like:

$ grep aarch64 config.guess
    aarch64:Linux:*:*)
    aarch64_be:Linux:*:*)
	UNAME_MACHINE=aarch64_be

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2013-03-24 09:26:52 UTC

You might need to run "autoreconf -vif" which has worked for me on a couple of my own packages

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2013-03-26 13:14:21 UTC

Unfortunately, autoreconf is not a good solution for KDE 3 stuff because it does not collect the configure.in.in files from the subdirectories and generate the global configure.in from that, only make cvs does that. And there's also some post-processing being applied to the Makefile.in files after running automake.

We already have a patch which adds --add-missing to the automake invocation, I think we need to also add --force-missing.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2013-04-01 21:41:27 UTC

Fixed in Rawhide, building for F19 now, closing.
