From 9d50da70608de32d9db0c29859caec6f2cddb95f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Courtès Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 18:34:39 +0200 Subject: gnu: wordnet: Make sure the self-reference is visible to the GC. Before that, "guix gc --references $(guix build wordnet)" would not show WordNet itself, erroneously so. * gnu/packages/wordnet.scm (wordnet)[arguments]: Add -fno-builtin-strcpy to #:configure-flags. --- gnu/packages/wordnet.scm | 17 ++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'gnu/packages/wordnet.scm') diff --git a/gnu/packages/wordnet.scm b/gnu/packages/wordnet.scm index dd3cdf3008..357c19351b 100644 --- a/gnu/packages/wordnet.scm +++ b/gnu/packages/wordnet.scm @@ -51,7 +51,22 @@ ;; Provide the `result' field in `Tcl_Interp'. ;; See . - "CFLAGS=-DUSE_INTERP_RESULT -O2") + ;; + ;; The 'DEFAULTPATH' string literal, which + ;; contains the output path, only appears as + ;; the operand of one 'strcpy' call.
