>> You mean something like the attached patch? >> >...added missing definition TDEICONLOADER_DEBUG in config.h.cmake Um, yes, I think so. I presumed something similar was needed but I wanted one of the experts to say as much. :-) * Are you going to push the patch? * How do we test the binaries compiled correctly when WITH_TDEICONLOADER_DEBUG=true? Backtraces? * Is this an option normally left as false and changed to true only when a developer asks for that change to help debug related problems? Darrell

TDE strict dependency on binutils in Debian Jessie/Wheezy
by Michele Calgaro 24 Oct '13

HI there, is anybody aware of any good reason why tdelibs14-trinity and some other packages have a very strict dependency on binutils in Debian Jessie and Wheezy (and I suspect also on previous versions and in Ubuntu, even though I didn't check)? For example I get dependencies such as: binutils (>= 2.23.52.20130828), binutils (<< 2.23.52.20130829). The problem with such kind of dependency is that when binutils is updated, I need to do a full rebuild of TDE before I can update the binutils package on my machine. After the full rebuild is completed, everything can be updated, but I don't see the reason for having the '<<' part of the dependency since it doesn't seem to affect anything: TDE builds with both the old and the new binutils package. So I am wondering if such strict dependency is intentional or if it is something that we are dragging along from the past (perhaps because of a broken or incompatible binutils version in the past). If there isn't any particular reason, I will open a bug report in a few days about this point. Thanks Michele

Tim, Commit cced03e1 2013-10-17 disabled the constant generation of backtraces in TDEIconLoader. The patch inidcates that KICONLOADER_CHECKS must now be explicitly defined. I presume the only people who want to do that are folks wanting to troubleshoot related problems. Should the need arise, where is the appropriate place to define KICONLOADER_CHECKS? Darrell
