Description Micah Gersten 2015-07-03 03:52:16 UTC 
Build log:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/210582545/buildlog_ubuntu-wily-powerpc.goffice_0.10.22-1ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz

I took the following patch from git and applied it to 0.10.22: https://git.gnome.org/browse/goffice/commit/?id=14a4841f2c8e5f1a536d721c21bc081d243c0206

It wasn't enough to fix the test failure in tests/test-math.c

Thanks.

See bug 748504, especially from comment #10 onwards.

It looks like these platforms lack a sane long double.  You might be able
to build using --without-long-double, but even then there are things that
will not work right.
