FileZilla 3.60.1 fails to build on Mageia Cauldron

[kekePower]

Hi.

There is a long list of compilation errors when I try to build FileZilla on Mageia Cauldron.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -I../../config -DNO_GSSAPI -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64    -O2 -g -pipe -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -Wall -c -o libfzputtycommon_a-sshsha.o `test -f 'sshsha.c' || echo './'`sshsha.c

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

You are applying custom patches to FileZilla. We cannot support modified versions of FileZilla.

Do you still experience this issue with an unmodified FileZilla?

Hi Tim.

The patch is only for pugixml and isn't related to the issue afaics.

When this patch is omitted, it fails to build due to pugixml.

After the latest round of updates to Mageia Cauldron I was able to compile it on x86_64, however it still fails on i586 with the same error on our build system.

I'm not a programmer and am unable to "fix" this.

Hints or pointers would be much appreciated.

What about the other patch?

[kekePower]

The other patch in the log file attached was just a test on my side that has since been removed.

Here is the latest build log with only 1 patch.

It comes from a system header. It looks like your compiler cannot handle one of its own header files.

Closing as this does not appear to be an issue with FileZilla.

Consider this test program and compile it with gcc -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables

#include <immintrin.h>
int main() { return 0; }

Please contact your compiler package maintainer for further assistance.
