Please update uim to version 1.5.6 as it fixes a FTBFS

debdiff with the definition of LDFLAGS and CFLAGS in debian/rules. Also, changed build dependency from x-dev to x11proto-core-dev as stated at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515522

Here the log of the build

Thanks for your work there. However, whilst forcing CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in debian/rules will make the package build, it will cause every binary in the package to be linked against libgnomeui-2.0, won't it? This will then mean that all the final binary packages will pull in the libgnomeui dependency even if they don't need them.

I think the correct way to fix this is to modify configure.ac and use PKG_CHECK_MODULES to get the LDFLAGS and CFLAGS for libgnomeui-2.0 and export them in such a way that only uim-toolbar-applet is linked against this library. With this method, the only binary package which will depend on libgnomeui will be uim-applet-gnome. Do you agree?

Would you mind working on this? (or perhaps checking if it is still an issue in uim 1.5.6)

Thanks :)

Hi,

Version 1.5.6 does not have this problem, so I'll package it. Anyway, I found the way upstream fixed it, so if the packaging of 1.5.6 is not successful, I can retrofit the patch.

Thanks,
Fabrice

Hi,

Here is the diff file with debian directory content.

The source tarball for 1.5.6 can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/uim/

I've made the following changes in the packaging:
  * debian/control:
    - added Homepage tag
    - added watch file
    - bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2
    - changed build dependency on x-dev to x11proto-core-dev to avoid a lintian
      error (Debian bug #515522)
    - Added ${misc:Depends} to packages, to avoid several lintian warnings
    - Update build dependency on libgtk2.0-dev to delete the -1 revision and
      fix this way another lintian warning
   * debian/uim-qt3.install: changed uim-chardict-qt.mo to uim.mo as upstream
     renamed it.
   * Added debian/README.source as this package uses dpatch to apply patches

Thanks,

Fabrice

Thank you! I'll take this for sponsoring now

Hi,

I've just uploaded this now. One small comment - you left the previous CFLAGS/LDFLAGS workaround in debian/rules. I assume this wasn't intentional so I removed it for you, and it's still building ok.

Other than that, great work! Thanks you :)
