There's a wonderful thing called "xapt", aka "multi-arch working today". Sadly, it can't be integrated into build-depends like real multi-arch will be, but getting all libraries you need is a matter of typing: # xapt -a pdp11 liblossage1 liblossage-dev -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
