Source: perl-tk Version: 1:804.036+dfsg1-5 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
perl-tk fails to cross build from source for several reasons. Ultimately, the build dependency on perl requests a host architecture interpreter, which cannot be installed. The recent addition of perl-xs-dev is what is really needed for building a perl extension, so perl can be dropped now. While at it, I also opted for annotated test dependencies <!nocheck>. When actually building perl-dk, it fails configuring the embedded jpeg library. This is due to a check for the system copy that requires running host code. The failure is understood as building the vendor copy. In the attached patch, I am demoting the try_run to a try_compile check. This poses a weaker verification that may be undesired on other platforms. It should be safe when building on Debian, but discussing a compromise is likely needed when trying to forward this upstream. Combining the aforementioned changes makes perl-tk cross buildable and you may find them in the attached patch. Helmut
