Bug#339716: kbd-chooser: FTBFS (ppc64): Please support the ppc64 architecture
Package: kbd-chooser
Version: 1.20
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
When building 'kbd-chooser' on ppc64/unstable, I get the following error:
dh_shlibdeps
dh_gencontrol
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture ppc64 does not appear in
package's list (i386 ia64 hppa alpha sparc mips mipsel arm m68k powerpc amd64)
dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
Please add ppc64 to the architecture list in debian/control to fix this.
Regards
Andreas Jochens

I am not sure you really need to build a ppc64 d-i to install a pure-powerpc64 system, so i doubt there is any real advantage in getting the .udebs to build in 64bit mode. Please try instead to work on base-installer/debootstrap to be able to install your pure-powerpc64 stuff from a 32bit d-i userland running on a 64bit powerpc kernel as currently in debian. There is really no way you will be able to convince anyone that you really need 4GB ram for d-i :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello Sven, thanks for your reply. On 05-Nov-18 10:25, Sven Luther wrote: You are still at it, i see. I am not sure you really need to build a ppc64 d-i to install a pure-powerpc64 system, so i doubt there is any real advantage in getting the .udebs to build in 64bit mode. You are right, it will not be necessary to have a 64bit d-i to install a ppc64 userland. A 32bit d-i in combination with a 64bit kernel and some option to select 'ppc64' as the installation architecture will probably be the easier solution. Please try instead to work on base-installer/debootstrap to be able to install your pure-powerpc64 stuff from a 32bit d-i userland running on a 64bit powerpc kernel as currently in debian. I will do that. Actually 'debootstrap' already works quite well for ppc64 installations. I will try find a patch that makes 'base-installer' aware of ppc64, so that the 32bit powerpc d-i in combination with a 64bit kernel can be used to install a ppc64 userland.

Yes, for the 'unstable' and 'etch' distributions this works with the '--arch ppc64' option: debootstrap --arch ppc64 sid ppc64.chroot \ http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4 Of course a 64bit kernel is necessary for this.

When a 64bit powerpc64 kernel is running, debootstrap can execute 64bit ppc64 binaries inside the chroot without any problems. Of course a 64bit kernel is necessary for this. What if i want to cross instal from let's say x86 to powerpc64 ? This is not possible. 'debootstrap' needs to be able to execute native binaries inside the target chroot environment. You can cross install from i386 to amd64 and vice versa if you run a 64bit amd64 kernel, and you can cross install from powerpc to ppc64 and vice versa if you run a ppc64 kernel.
