FTBFS with gcc 4.4

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Binary package hint: sdlmame

Hi,

gcc-4.2 will be removed from lucid, and sdlmame needs to be built with gcc-4.4.
I've tried to build it, but it FTBFS with the following messages:
...
Compiling src/osd/sdl/sdldir.c...
gcc: error trying to exec 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.2': execvp: No such file or directory
...
You can see the full log at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42721224/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.sdlmame_0.136-0ubuntu2~ppa_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

It has to be fixed, as otherwise, sdlmame won't be installable in Lucid.

Thanks,
Fabrice

I've just succeeded in building sdlmame 0.136 on the PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive/mame/+packages

I also had to fix a deprecated macro reference to make it build with GTK 2.20, see debian/changelog:

sdlmame (0.136-0ubuntu9) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: got rid of gcc 4.2, default lucid compiler (gcc 4.4) is good
    for sdlmame - Closes (LP: #554444)
  * added dependency on quilt patch system:
    - removed deprecated gtk2 macro in src/osd/sdl/dview.c
    - now build-depends on debhelper >= 7.0.8
  * fixed release in all manpages, also a typo in ldverify.1

Just in case, I also would suggest to refresh source orig tarball, as it currently expands to sdlmame0136 instead of sdlmame-0.136. You can both download the original .zip and repack it manually or use the get-orig-source target unpacking the attached .diff files.

Cesare.
