[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1060104: dcmtk: FTBFS on armel: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4100)

[Jörg Riesmeier]

Hi Mathieu et al.,

it seems that the stack problem is limited to the "drttest" tool, which is not really needed for a Linux distribution like Debian.

Anyway, in the meantime, I have revised the implementation of this test tool to avoid the creation of huge data structures on the stack. See this commit:

https://git.dcmtk.org/?p=dcmtk.git;a=commit;h=bdc18c85b7fca130464dd745ea3efef3c9b8b94e

It's up to you whether you switch to this implementation for the "experimental" 3.6.8 package or not. For 3.6.7 ("unstable" and "testing"), there seems to be another solution.

Regards,
Jörg

Bit lost here... I do not see the bug reported against GCC-13 package.

In the end do you want me to upload a patched 3.6.7 or is it ok to
wait for transition ?

Thanks!
