Saul: do you mean you tried this on the autobuilder, and couldn't reproduce even there? 55354 4 maxin.john 2015-10-15 14:50:53 +0000 It will be great to get more info on how to re-create this build error. 55587 5 sgw 2015-10-21 20:39:20 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #0) > > This occurred on OpenSuse 13.1 machine the configure process fails to > > complete while attempting to determine build system type > > > > checking build system type... > > configure: error: invalid value of canonical build > > > > Further checking of the build I was not able to reproduce it in place. > > Saul: do you mean you tried this on the autobuilder, and couldn't reproduce > even there? Correct, I was not able to reproduce this, I know these heisenbugs are the worst when they are not reproducible. 55591 6 jku 2015-10-22 08:16:23 +0000 I hate reading generated configure but ... this is what it looks like to me (with configure that works and was built on my Debian Unstable) * we use "--build=x86_64-linux" * build-aux/config.sub is run with "x86_64-linux" as parameter * the result is not a proper triplet (does not match "*-*-*"): case $ac_cv_build in *-*-*) ;; *) as_fn_error $? "invalid value of canonical build" "$LINENO" 5;; esac At least my configure even checks that config.sub is there... I have no idea how this could fail as long as config.sub is not ancient, and that shouldn't happen because autotools.bbclass configure updates it. 55592 7 maxin.john 2015-10-22 08:27:46 +0000 Opensuse seems to hit a similar bug in the past (configure fails to set architecture in autobuilder environment) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469337 55851 8 maxin.john 2015-10-27 16:04:57 +0000 Another round of attempt to re-create the build failure were unsuccessful.
