  • Bug#264677: FTBFS on GNU/k*BSD (update libtool)

    From Matthias Urlichs@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 14 11:10:08 2004

    Hi,

    Robert Millan:
    Please use gcrypt11 instead. Programs still using gcrypt1 should be updated.

    Is the API different, or only ABI? If it's only ABI, I don't mind asking maintainers to change the build dependency. Otherwise I really don't have time to help on this.

    It's a different API. The changes are pretty simple to do, though;
    the most invasive is to replace

    STRUCT *fn_returning_struct(...)

    with

    ERRCODE fn_returning_struct(...,&STRUCTPTR)

    Post-Sarge, gcrypt1 will disappear from Debian, so there's no way around
    doing it in one way or another. Ideally, it's Upstream's job since those library versions are *old*, unmaintained, they can't talk to all modern
    secure servers, and they have memory leaks.

    Aha. Sounds easy, thanks for the explanation.
