Description Rafael Fonseca 2015-08-12 15:26:35 UTC 
Description of problem: qbittorrent fails to build on ppc64le with the following error:

checking for boostlib >= 1.35... yes
configure: Boost CPPFLGAS: -I/usr/include
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!
RPM build errors:
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.XHeM2R (%build)
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.XHeM2R (%build)
Child return code was: 1


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.1.-1


How reproducible: koji-build qBittorrent on ppc64le.

Additional info: The problem is that the m4 file checks for specific 64-bit architectures to use the correct library dir and the check does not include the ppc64le architecture. Because of that, the boost libraries are not found. There is patch upstream [1] waiting to be merged.

Comment 10 Fabio Alessandro Locati 2015-10-29 17:40:57 UTC 
It seems like it's an autoconfig problem and not a qbittorrent problem, is this correct?

If it is, it was addressed by the upstream project anyway. There is a patch [1] which was committed after the latest released version.

Comment 12 Fabio Alessandro Locati 2015-10-31 10:51:46 UTC 
afaics, that commit has never been merged in the official repository. Am I wrong?

A different commit has been pushed to the official repository [1] on Aug 30, which seems to address the same problem.

I have pushed [2] a new version to the testing repository that has been released after Aug 30. If that patch fixed the problem, this release should work properly.

Ops, that's the correct commit, you're right.

Comment 19 Rafael Fonseca 2015-11-05 10:39:09 UTC 
Ok, I know what the problem is now. After changing the m4 file, you can't just run the existing configure. You need to run the bootstrap.sh to update the configure script first, so that the test for ppc64le is included.

I did that locally, so I think just applying the attached patch is enough to get it working (that way you don't need to include any new build requires).
