[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#625365: [doko at debian.org: Bug#625365: libgtextutils: ftbfs with gcc-4.6 -Werror]

[Assaf Gordon]

Hi Charles,

I'm trying to fix it issue, perhaps you can help me with a strange compilation problem:

I've installed a fresh VM of debian/testing and upgraded to unstable.
I've installed g++ 4.6 ( gcc version 4.6.1 20110428 (prerelease) (Debian 4.6.0-6 ) ).

When I run the "configure" of libgtexutils, I get:
===
$ export CC=gcc-4.6                     
$ export CPP=g++-4.6
$ ./configure
...
...
...
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output from gcc-4.6 object... ok       
checking how to run the C preprocessor... g++-4.6
configure: error: in `/home/gordon/sources/libgtextutils-0.6':
configure: error: C preprocessor "g++-4.6" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details
===

What am I doing wrong ?
Is this a problem in the "configure" script (and requires "reconf" etc.) ? or something else ?

Thanks,
 -gordon
