Dear mentors,
I have an interesting problem on my hands:
The package I need to build have optional build dependency (libgpm-dev)
which is not available on all platforms.
If I just put it to Build-Depends, package will FTBFS on some platforms.
So idea is to specify an optional (soft) build-dependency like
Build-Depends: libgpm-dev | TRUE
where 'TRUE' would stand for essential package like 'dpkg'.
However I suspect there must be a better way to do that, a practical
equivalent to hypothetical 'Build-Recommends'.
What would be the best practice for such case?
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
All the best,
Dmitry.
