Source: readsb Version: 3.16-2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
readsb fails to cross build from source, because it builds for the build architecture. debian/rules does not pass any cross tools to the make invocation. The easiest way of doing so is using dh_auto_build. Even with that change, the upstream Makefile still hard codes the build architecture pkg-config. The attached patch both uses dh_auto_build and makes pkg-config substitutable. Please consider applying it. Helmut
