Source: fontforge Version: 1:20201107~dfsg-2 Tags: patch User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: cross-satisfiability
fontforge cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends are not cross-satisfiable. Before looking into this problem in detail, I observe that even though fontforge builds architecture-independent packages, it does not have any Build-Depends-Indep. Indeed, it turns out that a number of Build-Depends can quite simply be demoted to Build-Depends-Indep if one skips building the documentation during an arch-only build. Given that fontforge is reproducible, one can verify that this change does not affect the resulting binary packages. Please consider applying the attached patch. I don't think fontforge will become cross buildable, but it'll be a significant step in that direction. Please close this bug when moving dependencies from Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep. Surprisingly enough, my patch also moves uthash-dev and libxt-dev. This suggests that these dependencies are no longer necessary at all. Please also check whether you still need these at all. Helmut
