Package: meson
Version: 0.56.0-1.1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs
Control: affects -1 + src:cinnamon-settings-daemon
cinnamon-settings-daemon fails to cross build from source, because meson
fails to locate cups. meson tried methods pkg-config and config-tool.
Unfortunately, cups upstream refuses to add a pkg-config file (see
https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/3128) and the config-tool method
refuses to use cups-config. The cups-config tool is architecture
agnostic and can very well be used during cross compilation. All we have
to do is add it to the cross file. I've attached a patch for your
convenience.
