e2fsprogs' configure does not detect when there is no db.h available

Bug Minor Resolved Won't Fix WC Triage Brian Murrell Wed, 19 Jan 2011 10:04:33 +0000 Sun, 28 May 2017 06:34:45 +0000 Sun, 28 May 2017 06:34:45 +0000 0 0 <p>The e2fsprogs-lfsck.patch file wasn't checking for db4.7 and db4.8 being installed, so that is one source of problems.</p> <p>However, the e2fsprogs.spec file does add "BuildRequires: db-devel" so that should be detected. That said, it should also be possible to build without lfsck if --disable-lfsck is passed to configure.</p> <p>I noticed that it stopped at 4.6 also. I wonder if there is some way to deal with this other just adding more successive checks. I thought about it for a few minutes and couldn't really come up with anything since we won't know if (for example) 4.9 will be next or if they go to 5.0, etc.</p> <p>I did notice that 4.1 to 4.6 are all copy'n'pastes of the same thing with just versions changing. I wonder if we can at least either put those all in a loop or use a function, etc.</p> <p>Regardless, I really do think configure should bail if it's supposed to be building lfsck and can't find a usable db.h.</p> <p>The db4 libraries are no longer needed.</p> Development Rank 1|hzw0u7: Rank (Obsolete) 10216 Severity
