Issue in curl's Github repo -- https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1456
** Bug watch added: github.com/curl/curl/issues #1456 https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1456 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723739 Title: Cannot cross compile 32-bit curl apps on x86_64 Status in curl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Cross compiling (-m32) a 32-bit application that relies on libcurl in a 64-bit host fails with: In file included from /usr/include/curl/curl.h:35, from ....: /usr/include/curl/curlrules.h:143: error: size of array '__curl_rule_01__' is negative /usr/include/curl/curlrules.h:153: error: size of array '__curl_rule_02__' is negative This is due to libcurl's installation of a generated, architecture dependent, header file "curlbuild.h". Design decisions aside, I think the package should handle this so the user doesn't have to install a parallel installation of 32-bit libcurl to cross-compile curl apps. One possible solution is to the use approach Fedora takes and install both curlbuild.h's side-by-side and switch on __WORDSIZE: $ ls /usr/include/curl/curlbuild* /usr/include/curl/curlbuild-32.h /usr/include/curl/curlbuild-64.h /usr/include/curl/curlbuild.h $ cat /usr/include/curl/curlbuild.h #include <bits/wordsize.h> #if __WORDSIZE == 32 #include "curlbuild-32.h" #elif __WORDSIZE == 64 #include "curlbuild-64.h" #else #error "Unknown word size" #endif There is also a forum thread discussing this same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1680426 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/723739/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
