Need help with build failure

[Mattia Verga]

python-calcephpy builds were FTB since between the F39 mass rebuild (which completed fine) and the Cython 3.x change (which started to fail).
While I was waiting for upstream to fix the package for compatibility with Cython 3.x I tried to rebuild it forcing cython < 3.0, but I got an odd build failure to which I didn't pay great attention, I simply thought about some glitch trying to force the cython version to the compat package.

Now that upstream released a new version compatible with Cython 3.x I tried to update the package, but I still get the odd build failure. It seems that during the configure script the package complains about being cross-built... the latest build attempt completed fine on i686 and ppc64le, while failed on other architectures.

Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks

Hi.

Have you managed to fix the issue? The error is produce by the configure 
script and the check is implemented there somewhere around line 4293 but 
I don't understand it well enough to tell you what causing it to detect 
the cross compilation.

and if the license format changed , should we build a new release ? and
in all branches or just in rawhide ?

sorry for my previous message is not for this thread

in this thread , 
I got the same problem and fix it with adding --host=$(uname -m) [1]

but just need the fix to build in koji , if in a local build with mock
on my laptop, I don't need the fix.

[1] 
%configure --host=$(uname -m)

commmit [1] try to fix:
configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

this happened to me before on 2023-08-04 02:20:05 +0100 before branch
F39

In my case it builds locally without this hack, which is weird .

Well, I've solved the problem just by adding 'export CPPFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS" at the start of the %build section...
I don't think the automatic exports in Fedora build system have changed, did them?

This is fixed for me no need more hacks (Mattia's or mime)

I checked and we have many commits on redhat-rpm-config [1] maybe this
one [2] I don't know , but seems it was fixed anyway .
