           Summary: Gideon's generated configure script thinks
                    sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(unsigned long)
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: jburrell at athena.dhis.org


Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          GCC 2.95.4 autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.5
OS:          Linux

Under Debian sid, Gideon's configure script can't seem to correctly execute sizeof(). The result is a configuration script that won't even execute. The output from the configuration script follows.

For what it's worth, Gideon was working prior to the last Debian upgrade. In any case, I don't quite see how the system upgrade screwed it up, so I don't know what additional information to provide. My guess would be that it's something with the parameters to configure, given that other (non-Gideon-generated) packages compile.

And yes, it was stupid, but I did write a C program to verify that GCC is correctly reporting sizeof() both size_t and unsigned long as 4 bytes.
