Yes I know - it is already built here and I have been testing, before pushing it to Cauldron. :) There were good reasons why I did not update between 3.1 and 3.4. There were major upstream changes and they advised me to wait for 3.4 to avoid potential problems. Shame it did not happen in time for Mga7. Keeping this open as a reminder until I push it, there are a couple of minor bugs that I have come across that I want to query upstream beforehand. Barry
Changing Mga version to Cauldron in line with: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy Unless there is a compelling reason for an exception to the above.
Version: 7 => Cauldron
Updated to just after 3.4 in Cauldron as Linux paths issue that I reported was fixed after release. Closing.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
It's a pity it won't build in MGA7. I'll try to figure out what's going on with 7.
Nobody said it would not build in Mga7, I have not tried. (see #3) However it does not, as it happens. :\ If you do play with it Alan, use the Cauldron SRPM as a starting point, the Linux paths are a mess in the upstream 3.4 tarball and still not quite right in the snapshot, but I fixed that in the spec. This is where it gets to in Mga7 in iurt: http://mtf.duckdns.org/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/7/x86_64/log/vice-3.4-0.37362.1.mga7_bcj.src.rpm/build.0.20200129215608.log Have fun, Barry
Playing with old commodore computers is the epitome of fun, well that and fiddling around with SPEC files. Thanks for taking care of this Barry, your SPEC file foo is orders of magnitude better than mine.
I got it to build but it needs a depcomp in BUILD and one in BUILD/vice. Since I'm not SPEC savvy, I extracted the vice tarball and put a depcomp next to the vice directory and while it was running configure I copied a depcomp into vice. I really must improve my SPEC foo. And now it's off to play with the abacus C compiler for the C128. 80 columns who ever thought anyone would need more than 22?
