[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#738523: Use dh-autoreconf

[Martin Pitt]

Package: libgphoto2-6
Version: 2.5.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch trusty

Hello,

building the current libgphoto2 on ppc64el (a new port in Ubuntu, and
a very likely upcoming port in Debian [1]) currently fails [2]

  make  check-TESTS
  make[4]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/libgphoto2-2.5.3.1/libgphoto2_port/test'
  No iolibs found in '..'
  Could not load list of ports: Error loading a library

Building with the latest libtool helps with that. Can you consider
using dh-autoreconf instead of just autotools_dev?

Severity wishlist as ppc64el is not in Debian yet. Applying this now
will ease the bootstrapping once it gets started.

Thanks,

Martin
