Problem building xfsprogs

[Eric Sandeen]

So you're on rhel6... I build xfstests there all the time, weird.

I get "yes" here - why wouldn't -static work?

and here I get

+checking uuid.h usability... no
+checking uuid.h presence... no
+checking for uuid.h... no

mine is building w/ some different flags:

+gcc -g -O2 -I. -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -DVERSION=\"3.2.1\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DPACKAGE=\"xfsprogs\" -I../include -DENABLE_GETTEXT -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_FILE_OFFSET
_BITS=64 -funsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall   -o gen_crc32table gen_crc32table.c

those flags should have been picked up from include/builddefs -

ifeq ($(PKG_PLATFORM),linux)
PCFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 $(GCCFLAGS)
...

GCCFLAGS = -funsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall

and I get past here just fine.  :(

TBH, the quickest path may be to grab xfsprogs.src.rpm from Rawhide
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xfsprogs/3.2.1/1.fc20/src/xfsprogs-3.2.1-1.fc20.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild that, and install the 3 packages it creates.  That should get you over the xfsprogs hump.

But it'd be nice to know why your build fails, still...
