tbb-examples Makefile uses nonexistant command

[Christopher Peplin]

Binary package hint: tbb-examples

I am reporting from an AMD64 machine using Ubuntu 8.04, on the 2.0r014-3 version of the package

The Makefiles included with this package all use the arch command to determine the architecture of the system. While this works in Debian, this command is not included in Ubuntu and there is no package that provides it. A simple solution, found here (http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2007/11/17/building-threading-building-blocks-on-ubuntu/) is to replace any use of arch with uname -m, which returns the same thing.

I was able to fix the error that I was getting ("make: arch: Command not found") by running "find . -iname "Makefile" -exec sed -i 's/shell arch/shell uname -m/g' {} \;" in /usr/share/doc/tbb-examples/examples.

Before it would fully compile, I also had to extract the .gz files in examples/common/gui. I don't know if this is a bug or feature, but it wasn't clear without some digging.

Patch 03_replace_arch_command.dpatch already fixed this problem in libtbb, but the examples still had the problem. This patch fixes the Makefiles.

Patch posted.

This bug refers to a very old version of Ubuntu.
I am unable to reproduce the problem in Artful.
Please add a comment to this report if the problem persists.
