[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#799099: julia: please drop build-depends on patchelf

[Graham Inggs]

Source: julia
Version: 0.3.11-1
Tags: patch

Hi Maintainer

Patchelf is buggy on ARM and PPC architectures.

Julia's Makefile contains the following comment at around line 282:

# Update RPATH entries and JL_SYSTEM_IMAGE_PATH if
$(private_libdir_rel) != $(build_private_libdir_rel)

The attached patches prevent patchelf from being downloaded, set
build_private_libdir and build_libdir to use the multiarch lib
directories so that patchelf does not get run, and lastly, remove
patchelf from julia's build-depends.

Regards
Graham
