    Package: abiword
    Version: 2.0.10-1
    Severity: serious

    There was an error while trying to autobuild your package:

    Automatic build of abiword_2.0.10-1 on casals by sbuild/mips 1.170.5
    Build started at 20040813-0426

    [...]

    ** Using build dependencies supplied by package:
    Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0), dpatch, libaiksaurus-dev, libaiksaurusgtk-dev, libenchant-dev, libfribidi-dev, libgal2.2-dev, libgda2-dev, libglib2.0-dev, libgnome2-dev, libgnomedb2-dev, libgnomeprintui2.2-dev, libgsf-1-dev, libgtk2.0-dev,
    libgucharmap4-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libnautilus2-dev, libots-dev, libperl-dev, libpng12-dev, libpsiconv-dev, libpspell-dev, libreadline4-dev, librsvg2-dev, libwmf-dev, libwpd-dev, python2.3-dev

    The version of libtool used to build this source package is too old to correctly support shared libraries for the Debian mips and mipsel architectures. Debian versions 1.5-2 and 1.4.2-7 and higher correctly
    support them. You need to update all of the libtool related files by
    running the following on your source tree:

    autoreconf --force

    You may need to use the --install option as well. You can also try the individual commands needed yourself:

    libtoolize --force --copy
    aclocal
    autoheader
    automake -a
    autoconf

    autoheader may not be needed, and you may need to use versioned binaries (autoconf2.13, automake-1.{4,6,7}, aclocal-1.{4,6,7}, etc)

    The correct 'configure' script will have output that looks like this:
    linux*)
    lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all
    ;;

    Older versions of libtool used a file_magic check for the pattern
    file_magic ELF [0-9][0-9]*-bit [LM]SB (shared object|dynamic lib )

    The output of file(1) on a shared library on MIPS does not match this
    regular expression, however. Earlier versions of file had been
    modified to match this regular expression, but the latest version uses
    the same output as upstream once again. The file check often causes
    problems, and results on a build-dep on file that you might not
    otherwise be aware of. The new method doesn't need file(1) at all,
    and is far less fragile, so it is best to upgrade the configure script
    with proper mips support.
