Guys - someone is testing if debian packages build with gcc 4.5, and therion doesn't. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this, or do we contend that it is actually a compiler bug?
I have many debian and ubuntu machines. I could (most likely) get 4.5 on one of them.
That's easy: add experimental to your sources.list and aptitude update; aptitude install gcc-4.5 (http://packages.debian.org/experimental/gcc-4.5)
Could you give me a hint at how best to help?
Examinging the buildlog failure linked in the message may be sufficient to make the problem obvious to a C++-competent person. http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2010/01/08b/therion_5.2.8-1_lsid64b.bui...
I have not actually used Therion yet, but wanted to start, since I really wanted LINUX based software.
Is there a place I should go to get a snapshot from revision control (svn? git?) instead of the debian package?
For this particualr problem checking against the Debian source first would be best. Once a patch that fixes it has been found we can apply that to 'latest'. Therion does not have a publically-accessible svn/git repo for the offical code (SFAIK). I have an svn repo for my own Debian development purposes, but it's currently out of date. To get the debian sources just do apt-get source therion The tarballs on the therion site remain definitive for upstream. Thanks for taking an interest - I hope someone can fix this.
