IMO nothing we can do before releasing Squeeze.What I'm trying to point out is that basing a solution on sysroot doesn't allow yet to build cross-debs following either the Debian, the FHS, or the multiarch pathnames. In any case, for cross-compilation we need to patch the compiler+linker pathnames, or give up on shipping the files in .debs.

Well, how would you create .debs and how would install them to the chroot? Perhaps I'm unaware of some nice tool to cross-build .debs into a -sysroot? > In your opinion, what should we ship as cross compiling framework for > Squeeze release? I don't want to make any recommendation, but I think dpkg-cross based approaches are the most mature; but I might be missing new approaches which I didn't read about -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
