Source: rox Version: 1:2.11-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
rox fails to cross build from source, because it configures for the build architecture. It uses a quite unusual shell script wrapper to invoke the relevant configure script. Thus it cannot use dh_auto_configure, which would have taken care of the relevant flags automatically. Rather, we must pass the --host flag explicitly. The upstream configure also avoids the well established PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro that would have just worked and hand crafts its own check that requires the maintainer to supply a working PKG_CONFIG. After doing both, rox cross builds successfully. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
