Bug#787861: review: polyml

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi,

>I have uploaded the latest version to mentors. Currently, the old maintainers are still listed in debian/control. I’m happy to assume responsibility for bug >reports etc, so do I need to add myself to Uploaders? I don’t want to tread on anyone’s toes though if that’s bad form.

well, for sure I suggest you to subscribe to debian-devel mail list and to the package [1] at the bottom of the page.

you can also contact MIA team to know if the maintainers are really MIA, in that case the package will be orphaned and you will be able to take it over.


the problem actually is that the package is not building fine on amd64 and i386.

"configure.ac:410: error: possibly undefined macro: LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation."

BTW you need to add libffi-dev to build-dependencies and enable it in configure script.

However I failed in building it correctly.
