Probably, assuming the other files in there are safe too. I have been repeatedly bitten by unwanted consequences from previous multi-arch changes to wx and other packages, but marking it as foreign seems less likely to cause problems than trying to move binaries around with the freeze looming.

A best as I can tell, wxrc doesn't create architecture-specific files, so using the native version should be fine for cross-compiling, if necessary. Scott

Package: wx-common Version: 3.0.4+dfsg-7 wxrc (command line compiler for wxWidgets XML resources) binary is installed in /usr/bin. This blocks installing the same package with different architecture - required for cross compile. This can be moved to /usr/lib/ as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross#Executables_in_-dev_packages. I'm trying to install this on an amd64 host: apt-get install libwxgtk-webview3.0-dev:armhf wx-common
