Greetings.
I have a situation with mumble where the build is breaking on armel
architecture. Upstream has identified that this bug is due to the mumble
"link" plugin containing atomic memory operations. I would like to
conditionally patch the source plugins/CMakeLists.txt file based on
architecutre to not build that one plugin for armel. CDBS apparently has
a way of doing this [1] and I would like to find a solution for doing
this with debhelper. I've been searching and haven't found anything
quite fitting.
I suppose in a pinch I could build-depend on the 'patch' command and do
something like this in debian/rules:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),armel)
patch < debian/patches/armel/95-fix-build-armel.patch
endif
... but I'm hoping something else already exists for doing this with the
normal build system or debhelper/dh.
If someone has a better solution, please let me know.
Thanks much.
