Hi,
Just to let you all know, due to the ongoing multiarch work, it is not possible to cross-compile relatively complex packages in ubuntu. For example, following the instructions[1], Firefox. While building on oneiric, patched packages from the linaro-maintainers overlay are needed, many of those patches are on precise, and rest should get there during the next cycle.
Cheers, Riku

Out of curiosity and having a few minutes right now, I tried following the instructions in an oneiric chroot on an amd64 host and I hit the following issues.
1. /etc/apt.conf.d does not really exist. so I had to create one and put 10local into it. 2. While following the instructions as in "Drag-in build dependencies for firefox"

Hi,
Thanks for trying out.

Another typo - this should have been /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ . wiki updated.

No, it appears for some reason NEWS.gz is different on armel and amd64 package, and thus multi-arch: same install is refused. Usually using gzip -n fixes that, but this package was already doing it. This appears to be a case of:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647522
I've uploaded a new libtasn which doesn't compress NEWS file as workaround. I'm also updating the firefox in repository to 8.0, the demo was based on 7.0. I'll update when all the changes have landed.

Which should be now (or at least in a few minutes)

What is the status of these in precise, and how can one help to get them in soon?
Are you also targetting other large apps for cross-build?
thanks Jani
