enigma.test fails on i686

[manfredu]

I'm trying to provide an up-to-date package of version 1.70 for Void Linux.

Besides some issues with cross-compiling I'm still trying to solve ("loader cannot find Qt library") a test from /testo.d/enigma.test fails on i686 only:

Binary files ./reference/enigma-gpsb.ert and /tmp/gpsbabel.5142/enigma.ert differ
ERROR comparing ./reference/enigma-gpsb.ert /tmp/gpsbabel.5142/enigma.ert

On x86_64 all tests run fine.

Welcome.

The i686 enigma test failure was fixed in #690 and applied as a patch to Debian.

I need to do some research about the cross compilation issue, but I need to figure out what the best method was.

As I mentioned in #621, your cross compilation issues will likely just go away with qmake instead of configure. While homebrew doesn't do cross compilation they have switched their build to qmake, see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/gpsbabel.rb. It looks like #611 was the patch they needed to make this work. Alternatively, you can try the debian cross patch https://sources.debian.org/patches/gpsbabel/1.7.0+ds-7/, however the debian cross patch will not work in the next release of gpsbabel as support for configure will have been removed.

The documentation for the qmake options to use system libraries wasn't included in #611. You can see it here

Thank you. :-)

Found it, it's in #620.

Thanks for the provided information.

Thanks for your help. Void Linux package gpsbabel 1.7.0 is available now.

@manfredu thanks for making the latest gpsbabel release available on Void Linux.
