Source: splitvt Version: 1.6.6-13 Tags: patch upstream Control: block 798955 by -1 splitvt has a strange build system. There is a configure script that compiles and runs a config.c, which does most of the checks. Unfortunately, the weirdness does not stop there. It checks for headers in hard coded locations and that breaks with non-glibc libcs as well as a glibc that fixes #798955. Then, config.c will deem required headers as absendt and splitvt will fail to build. I looked and tried to fix config.c (which is already patched to cope with a multiarch libtermcap.so). It was too difficult. Thus I went ahead and translated config.c to shell. The resulting config.sh is a little shorter, it fixes the hard coded headers (by invoking the preprocessor) and it works with cross compiling if you supply a suitable CC. Other than that, I tried to keep close to the original implementation. Please consider replacing config.c with config.sh. It's an invasive change, but without it, splitvt will ftbfs before too long.
