Thanks for the review.
(In reply to comment #4)
This now fails to build for me in a different manner:
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --exec_prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --includedir=/usr/include --datadir=/usr/share
--with-runasclient
You must have autoconf installed to compile Simias. Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/
You must have automake installed to compile Simias. Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74877 (%build)
It isn't really surprising to need this for a snapshot pulled from the upstream SCM, but I'm curious as to how you got a proper build of this without these installed in the buildroot.
I thought these were in the default buildroot - obviously this is not the case. I have updated the spec file.

Adding the necessary BuildRequires gets me to and autoconf file with a ton of errors which look related to libtool, so I added that as well.
Okay, added that too. I sometimes think it is better to BuildRequire *everything* needed. :(
And now the build makes it to:
gcc -Wall -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fno-strict-aliasing -DWITH_BISON -DWITH_FLEX symbol2.o error2.o soapcpp2_yacc.tab.o lex.yy.o init2.o soapcpp2.o /usr/lib/libfl.a -o soapcpp2 gcc: /usr/lib/libfl.a: No such file or directory make: *** [soapcpp2] Error 1
At which point I give up. Why does this package building on x86_64 need to link against a 32-bit flex?
Hmm, hadn't even got to a mock build yet. I have an issue with a static library which I am trying to resolve at the moment. Namely, in the following makefile
http://snecker.fedorapeople.org/simias/Makefile.am
the issue with the ldflags hack for 64bit.
I know this package is large, but please try to use either koji scratch builds or a local mock installation to ensure that your packages are buildable.
I will once I have all of the above resolved and rpmlint is quiet. Until then this package can be ignored - i will update further when it is ready for review again.
Thanks again for your attention.
