I have made a small set of patches which I'd like to be included in pike
and debian packages in order to make the package emdebian (cross)
compilable. I've attached the patches, but as described below there are
still some caveats to them.
Patches according to http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianMakefile
Patches are made against the current debian package (pike 7.8.352).
1) Patch to debian/rules.
This patch can be included as is. The patch makes it possible to use a
cross compiler for compiling pike.
(cross compiling in debian you can do using "pkg-build -a arm -uc -us)
2) Patch to src/configure.in
This patch can be included as is into pike, I think this was is a bug in
configure.in because it originally tries to use the newly build pike
instead of the pike installed on the host.
3) Patch to src/configure
I think this patch should ultimately be done in src/configure.in. But
I'm no M4 expert and haven't yet found which changes need to be made in
src/configure.in
4) Patch to src/modules/Mysql/configure
I think this patch was already included in src/modules/Mysql/configure.in.
Then there is the issue of bytecompiling. As I understand it pike can do
without byte-compiling. However the debian packaging copies the
byte-compiled files into the several packages. If byte-compiling fails
(because the newly build pike can't be used for byte-compiling) the
package manager fails to create a package.
I've only come up with one possible sollution to this. Which is, push
the byte-compiling of the code into a post-install script. This way the
byte-compiling can be done on the target machine. But maybe there is a
better sollution?
It is not allowed to have diff between the debian and the emdebian
packaging files.
Best regards,
Marc
