Package: diff-ext Version: 0.2.3-3.1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi!
Please note that by specifying both --build and --host to configure, the configure script (incorrectly) assumes that you are cross compiling, i.e. uses a compiler name of the form $(ARCH)-linux-gnu-gcc, rather than just gcc. For more information, see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/11/msg00118.html I have attached a patch, which uses the guidlines at: http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianGuide#Addingcross-builddetection HTH, and thanks! Kumar
