Hello,

I have another question related to cross compilation...

I am still trying to setup a functional cross compilation environment for our packages. I want to be able to build without xdeb, using debuild command (this is mainly because we use other tools such as git-buildpackage).

When I build a package which has dependency on another .so file, my ./configure script fails, pkg-config complains that it cannot find my package config file (which is available in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig.

If I set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig, then my build is fine, e.g. debuild -ePKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig -b -aarmel -us -uc.

Is that expected? I was looking around in xdeb, and I don't find where this is being done, and I am sure it would be needed too since it ends up calling debuild... In this process I noticed that xdeb is also passing /etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel to debuild. Should I do this to?

I would appreciate any feedback on this.

thanks,

nicolas

note: I am using a maverick chroot, and Marcin's cross compiler.
