Hi Dennis, I would fix the bug-fill report a little... (In reply to comment #0) > Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in > autoconf 2.69. tar appears to use an earlier version of > autoconf, preventing its being built. Actually - there is possible that the package does not use autoconf at all. Just the './configure' script is generated by older autoconf. > This can be fixed in of three ways > (In order of preference): > > 1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69. This is done pretty much automatically as the time goes, I hope. When the upstream uses the up2date automake the generated config.guess/config.sub is then distributed in upstream tarball (by running `make dist`). > 2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running > configure. This does not help - you need to run "automake --update-missing --force". It is also done during 'autoreconf -v -f -i'. The '-f -i' options are important here. But I'm not sure how much should users be encouraged to use this command as it may theoretically break the build also (replacing all the distributed macros with macros in automake). > 3. Apply the patch at > http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/tar/tar-aarch64.patch > which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64. I guess this is valid one and imo also innocent. But I'm unable to test it in arm distro. You were creating the patch against automake-1.12 I guess (automake-1.13 is in rawhide now). $ rpm -ql automake | grep config.guess Pavel Another possibility would be to copy the updated scripts from automake package.
This is probably not as easy as it look - as there exists multiple automake
packages in Fedora distro ~> so you are unable to copy
/usr/share/automake-*/config.{guess,sub} files. So the best would be:
| for file in `rpm -ql automake | grep -e config.guess -e config.sub`; do
| cp $file dest_dir
| done
.. but here you need to have rpm/automake BuildRequires. So I have used your
approach 3. for tar package (with updated scripts from automake-1.13).
