Source: axmail Version: 2.9-2 Tags: patch upstream User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs
axmail fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build architecture compiler as linker via the LD variable. Unfortunately, the meaning of LD varies widely, so dh_auto_build cannot substitute it. I propose defaulting it to the compiler variable such that it automatically gets substituted correctly in most cases while still leaving room for choosing it manualy. Further more, axmail passes -s to install which causes it to stip with the wrong strip. Beyond breaking cross compilation, doing so also breaks DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip as well as generation of -dbgsym packages. It is best to avoid -s entirely and leave that up to dh_strip. Indeed, debhelper already supports that by passing a non-stripping install as INSTALL, so all we need to do here is make install substitutable. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
