Package: libgsf Version: 1.14.51-2 User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
libgsf fails to cross build from source, because the upstream configure.ac detects pkg-config using AC_PATH_PROG and thus detects the build architecture pkg-config which fails to find tons of packages. This is easily fixed by using the recommended upstream macro PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG instead. I'm attaching a patch for this. Then libgsf goes a lot further, but fails building its documentation due to the use of gtk-doc. We do not currently have any solution for gtk-doc and hence libgsf will not be cross buildable. Would you consider splitting the documentation from the -dev package into a dedicated -doc package? Usually, such a -doc package would be Architecture: all and therefore not participate in cross building. The arch-only build would no longer build documentation and that would probably make libgsf cross buildable. It would also fix #814502. Either way, this bug is only about the pkg-config aspect, so please close it once fixing that. Helmut
