Description Michael Biebl 2011-11-09 12:11:01 UTC 
Version: 2.30.0

As you can see at ¹, the test suite fails in glibmm_refptr_sigc_bind/test for ia64, amd64 and kfreebsd-amd64. So this might be a 64bit related bug.

Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2011-11-09 12:23:17 UTC 
What version of libsigc++ do you have there?
Comment 2 Michael Biebl 2011-11-09 13:18:26 UTC 
The build log contains that information:  libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.2.9-1
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2011-11-16 22:19:47 UTC 
Using the newer libsigc++ version (2.2.10) fixes that, I believe. Please try that and confirm.

We could require that in configure.ac, I guess, though we don't expect everyone to run the tests.

Tested it on amd64, the test suite did indeed build successfully.

Thanks for the pointer

If you don't want to bump the configure check, a compromise might be, to either document this issue (like e.g. in README) or add a non-fatal check to configure.ac which would output a warning that the testsuite might fail.

Something like:
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac

Actually, glibmm 2.30.0 already checks for libsigc++ 2.0.10. I checked that tarball:

2.0.10 != 2.2.10 ?!?
Comment 7 Murray Cumming 2011-11-18 11:54:21 UTC 
Oh, yes, thanks. I have fixed it in the master and glibmm-2-30 branches and I have released a glibmm 2.30.1 tarball.
