Hi,
w3m fails to cross build from source for a number of reasons. Most
immediately, configure is run without --host and thus configures for the
build architecture. Even though configure has code for detecting the
name of pkg-config, it still falls back to calling it directly causing
it to miss libraries such as imlib2. I am attaching a patch for these
issues. Even after applying it, the build fails due to executing
./mknames. Since mknames is executed during build and not installed into
any package, it should be compiled with the build architecture compiler.
For this to work, it needs to stop #including things such as config.h
however. Also object files such as Str.o need to be built for both
architectures. I haven't figured out the details yet, so my patch is
only a partial solution. Hope it helps whomever is looking into cross
compiling w3m at a later time.
Tatsuya, what do you think about applying this fix?
Lots of packages build-depent on w3m (x11proto* and basic X libraries,
mutt...), it would be nice to be able to cross-build it from other
systems, for bootstrapping new architectures and similar scenarios.
Cheers.
I just uploaded an NMU with the patch applied, to delayed/15. I pushed
the changes to the repository.
If you disagree, please tell me and I can cancel the NMU, and can revert
the changes as well; or you can do it yourself if you prefer.
If it's OK for you, I can re-schedule it to happen sooner.
Let's hope that this push helps to move things forward to make possible
to cross-compile this important package :)
Cheers and thanks for maintaining this package!
