Source: libgadu
Version: 1:1.12.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
libgadu fails to cross build from source for a number of different
reasons. The first of these is that its configure assumes a broken
snprintf implementation during cross compilation and gives up. This can
be alleviated by telling it that snprintf works (which is the case for
all Debian architectures) and is what the attached patch does.
Further down the road, libgadu uses protobuf-c-compiler, which is not
ready for cross compilation. The protofbuf-c-compiler package is
implicitly Multi-Arch: no and thus installed for the host architecture,
which means that protoc-c cannot be run. Fixing this will require
changes to the protobuf-c-compiler packaging, but should not require
changes in libgadu. I didn't look for more issues yet.
So could you apply the attached patch to make the protobuf-c-compiler
issue visible during normal cross builds?
