[Pkg-alsa-devel] Help needed: crosscompile alsa-lib 1.0.19

[Elimar Riesebieter]

Hi Debian ALSA developers,

I want to prepare 1.0.19 for upload. Building alsa-lib on i386 and
amd64 gives:
...
checking for strip... strip
checking for cross-compiler... i486-i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for i486-linux-gnu-gcc... i486-i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [configure-biarch-stamp] Error 77
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit
status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1319:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed
Command /bin/sh -c debuild "-rfakeroot" failed in <unknown>, how to
continue now? [Qri?]: q
Aborting.

The correct compile should be: i486-linux-gnu-gcc and not
i486-i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc! alsa-lib switched:
"Don't use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM, only use AC_CANONICAL_HOST"

Hmmm.

Building on ppc runs fine. Others I can't test. You can co the
version I tried from svn (r 2165). Any hints?

Thanks for cooperation

Elimar
