Avarice @2.13 r1 Build failure - config.h not included correctly

[christian@…]

Changeset [101695] (enabling the deprecated target programming feature with the --enable-target-programming configure option) seems to have broken the avarice build process again (see #37603). --enable-target-programming turns on a dependency on libbfd. That dependency looks like it is causing the issue. From the main.log:

:info:build In file included from jtag2prog.cc:41:
:info:build /opt/local/avr/host/include/bfd.h:37:2: error: config.h must be included before this header
:info:build #error config.h must be included before this header
:info:build  ^
:info:build 1 error generated.

Note that the error occurs when including bfd.h, which would not be included absent the --enable-target-programming switch. The 2.13 release notes for avarice state that the target programming feature is deprecated, and the user is expected to use avrdude to program the device.

Thank you for the report. I did not notice this as I also have the binutils port installed. Due to the order of the include paths, -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/avr/host/include the build system actually picked the wrong bfd.h on my system. Thus, I did not notice the problem.

I am aware that target programming is deprecated, but some older scripts in use at my department still require the target programming of avarice. I don't think enabling this feature will do any harm (once the build problems are resolved).

Changeset [102063] fixes the build issues for systems that don't have binutils installed. This ticket may be closed.

I'm still seeing this problem after a port selfupdate.

port uninstall avarice (and ave-gdb) followed by port clean avarice and now I can successfully build.
