The actual commands come from the emdebian-tools package but these are principally wrappers around the above commands. The build log for the second case was attached to the original report, if there is any more information I can provide, let me know. You should be able to replicate the effect for testing purposes by installing a cross-building toolchain from Emdebian (e.g. arm - available for amd64, i386 and powerpc) then specifying -aarm to dpkg-buildpackage. 'make clean' does not run with the first build (no Makefile), only subsequent builds. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
