Source: gdb Version: 17.1-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability ftcbfs
gdb fails to cross build from source for three distinct reasons. 1. The build-dependency on gobjc is not satisfiable. It is a toolchain dependendency and needs to specify what the compiler is being used for. Most commonly, one targeting the host architecture is needed. This is achieved by using gobjc-for-host. 2. The build-dependency on python3-dev is not installable. It implies a host architecture Python interpreter. Python extensions should depend on python3-dev:native plus libpython3-dev instead. 3. In bfd/doc, chew.c uses host compiler flags with the build compiler. This fails badly when compiling for amd64 or arm64. I'm attaching a patch that addresses all mentioned issues. Please consider applying it. The part fixing chew.c should be suitable for upstream inclusion. Helmut
