The Last Ditch Effort, Pt. 1

After presenting the current state of my work on the Gnash package, I am currently back to solving the build dependency debacle before inserting the assembly translations into the package code. "yum-builddep gnash.spec" immediately proved unsuccessful, so after a few attempts at troubleshooting via google I went ahead and used the piped sed command combination generously given to me by Chris Tyler:

"yum install -y $(cat *spec | sed -n "s/^BuildRequires://p" | sed "s/>=.*//")"

Effectively, this stream editing command parsed through the gnash.spec file and searched for any and all build dependency packages written after the "BuildRequires:" string using the regular expressions embedded within, and finally redirected the output to the appropriate portion of the yum-install command.

As far as my research of the found assembly code, the code in the affected files - "jemalloc.c" and "utility.h" wrap the pre-processor blocks in the constraints "#ifdef __i386__", "#ifdef __amd64__", and "#ifndef __MINGW32__" respectively. Unfortunately, due to google being of very little help in such niche specializations, I am currently awaiting word from the community if any of this logic needs to be reapplied for aarch64 - especially the memory allocation logic of the blocks in jemalloc.c, for example:

#ifdef __arm__

#  define QUANTUM_2POW_MIN     4

#  define SIZEOF_PTR_2POW         3

#  define NO_TLS

#endif

More to come in the next few days.
