Hi,
My paquet seems to work correctly !
Cool.
the problem for me is my paquet is not exactly the same as the one provided by ubuntu. I mean I had to disable some features because some dependencies was missing.
Is there another process to work-around cross dependency installation issue ? ( with qemu... )
That may work. I don't think anyone has tried seriously. It should do. Running the armhf version of the gobject-introspection tools with qemu should do the right thing. Unfortunately you can't install gobject-introspection:armhf because it wan't python:armhf and installing that would probably break things, (although with qemu installed it should be OK...).
So this could do with testing, but currently that's a bit of a faff. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried this.
The actual introspection problem is explained here: https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterPearse/GobjectIntrospection
Is there another way than building with the target that permits to create the packets ?
(packages, not packets).
It seems that cross building is not the usual way of working...
Yes, the debian/ubuntu default is to build natively, which avoids the problems of cross-tools and cross-dependencies. The catch is that, whilst it gets faster by the day, it's still generally slower than crossbuilding on a fast x86 box. A chromebook or arndale board is quite nippy now though...
Wookey
