Bug Description

Binary package hint: libgtkmathview0c2a

This C++ library abuses the template system, and g++-4.2 is unable to generate correct code. g++-4.1 does generate correct code (and IIRC g++-4.3 also compiles it correctly).

Please, export CXX=g++-4.1 before compiling the library and build-depend on this version of the compiler,
as done in Debian from version 0.8.0-2.

Cheers

TEST CASE:
Try Insert>Equation>From LaTeX in AbiWord. Insert any equation, pressing "insert" causes instant crash.

Hi,

thanks for the debdiff, but please don't subscribe ubuntu-core-dev to get s.th. sponsored, but rather use ubuntu-main-sponsors. Thanks.

Fixed debdiff using ubuntu1.1 version numbering system for SRUs. Thanks for all the bureaucracy.

Looks sane to me, thanks! Sponsored and uploaded.

Can you please report this to upstream/Debian as well to get Debian and intrepid fixed? Intrepid uses gcc/g++ 4.3, so is this even an issue for intrepid?

Debian and Intrepid are already fixed (they are forced to use g++ 4.3).

My PPA package (which is the same as the hardy-proposed one) works fine, will test the real one when the GB archive catches up however.

Thanks for the speed of your response.

The snag is that G++ 4.1 isn't in main. Could gtkmathview be moved into universe for Hardy?

I removed the SRU from hardy-proposed again. Of course we can't just move gtkmathview into universe, it is needed by Abiword (if we wouldn't need it in main, it wouldn't be there in the first place :-) ).

So we need a proper fix for hardy, not just a workaround by using a different compiler, I'm afraid.

Och well, looks like it will never work in Hardy. Of course, there's always my PPA package.
