Source: netsurf Version: 3.6-3.2 Tags: patch User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs
netsurf fails to cross build from source for many different reasons. It has an "interesting" build system. But lets start in order. The libhtml-parser-perl dependency poses a problem to cross satisfiability. It is interpreted as host architecture and results in a conflict on perl-base. The package is being used (run) during build though, so it is needed for the build architecture instead. It should be annotated :native. Once doing so, apt is able to install Build-Depends. Then cross building netsurf should be a matter of setting up variables HOST and BUILD. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It doesn't figure out the right CC for building nsgenbind. The attached patch opts to building it separately. Then it also fails using the correct ar and pkg-config. Much later, a build tool fails linking -lpng. This indicates a missing dependency on libpng-dev:native. After fixing all of the above, the build fails with #911600, which is where I stopped looking. Please consider applying the attached patch anyway. Please close this bug when doing so. Helmut
