Re: sbuild wiki page - cross compiling section query

Hi Phil,

On the sbuild wiki page in the cross compiling section should we be advising
users that they need to create a chroot for the {ARCH} they wish to cross build
for and also have the relevant crossbuild-essential-{ARCH} package installed?

No, why?



Cheers Jochen

Cross compiling means that you need that normal build arch chroot as initial set up. An other thing is using sbuild --arch=, that uses qemu most of the time, where you need the arch chroot.
