Source: recode
Version: 3.6-23
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
recode fails to cross build from source for two reasons:
* It configures for the build architecture. recode's ./configure is so
ancient that it doesn't recognize --host= as passed by
dh_auto_configure. One needs to export CC instead.
* It fails running help2man. Adding a native build pass to generate the
manual page fixes this issue.
With the attached patch, recode cross builds successfully. Please
consider applying it.
