Dear Christophe, I think that as a developer you should already have access to portboxen:
http://release.debian.org/squeeze/arch_qualify.html But IIUC that would not be needed except to verify a fix to this bug. | sbuild (Debian sbuild) 0.59.1 (24 Jan 2010) on lxdebian.bfinv.de [...] | life/lifecore/application.cpp:436: error: ambiguous overload for 'operator<<' | life/lifecore/debug.hpp:134: note: candidates are: Life tries to use << to print something, and it is not obvious to the compiler which function is meant. Looking at application.cpp, it seems the value to be printed is of type std::string::size_type. Looking at debug.hpp, it seems that operator<< accepts an int32_t uint32_t, int64_t, or uint64_t, but does not mention string::size_type by name in its list of signatures. Chasing definitions from /usr/include/c++/<whatever>/string, it seems that string::size_type is size_t. So one problem is that although size_t may have the same range of values and representation as one of the four types listed above, it is not necessarily the same type, so the compiler can complain. > I have been attempting to understand the build failure [1] and [2] > for the package life [3]. This failure occurs only for s390. Patience. ;-) It is true that x86 builds did not catch this, but most other platforms so far did.
