Source: yacas
Version: 1.3.6-2
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: rebootstrap
yacas fails to cross build from source. The immediate failure is failing
to pass --host to ./configure. This can be solved by running ./configure
through dh_auto_configure. Additional configure flags can be passed to
dh_auto_configure after a "--". Then it tries to run code generators in
the manmake directory for the host architecture. Such generators need to
be built with the built architecture compiler. The autoconf-archive
provides a macro AX_PROG_CXX_FOR_BUILD to discover this compiler and the
attached patch demonstrates how to use it. Unfortunately, LT_INIT and
AX_PROG_CXX_FOR_BUILD don't work well together (#924415), so I'm
providing an additional workaround here. After fixing these, the build
of yacas itself succeeds, but the texdocs target runs yacas. I fear we
won't be able to generate the documentation in a cross build, but since
yacas-doc is an Architecture: all package, that can be avoided in
principle.
This may sound very complicated, but it really boils down to three
things:
1. Run ./configure through dh_auto_configure.
2. Apply my patch to make the manpage generators work.
3. Avoid building documentation in an arch-only build.
I haven't provided a solution for the third part here. Please close this
bug if you fix 1 and 2. If you need help, please ask.
