** Changed in: consolekit (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to consolekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984962 Title: Uses wrong pkg-config for dbus test when cross-building [SRU] Status in consolekit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in consolekit source package in Precise: Incomplete Status in consolekit source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in consolekit package in Debian: New Bug description: [Problem] consolekit fails to cross-build due to trying use wrong-arch 'pkg-config' during configure. [Impact] The impact is only on those cross-building, but one target for the precise release was to have as much of the base system cross-buildable as possible. consolekit is a base system package so it's important to be able to cross-build it. [Development Fix] Upstream git has fixed this problem by removing the check in question entirely. See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ConsoleKit/commit/?id=f42cafcce978c402bdbc9c6e03a0c90bb0924b89 But that version has not yet been released. I don't know if other changes are needed first before simply getting rid of it. [Stable Fix] The minimal fix is simply to use $PKG_CONFIG as set-up by autoconf instead of hard-coded 'pkg-config', then tha correct version is used for both native and cross builds. [Test Case] 1. apt-get source consolekit 2. apt-get -a armel build-dep consolekit 3. cd consolekit-0.4.5 4. CONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel -uc -us Broken Behavior: build will stop after a while saying: Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'dbus-1' found Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package. This is probably an error in this script, please report it along with the following information: Base DBUS version ='' DBUS_VERSION_MAJOR='0' DBUS_VERSION_MINOR='0' DBUS_VERSION_MICRO='0' (and then print out the whole of config.log) Fixed Behavior: build will get past this point, saying: Your dbus version is 1,4,18. It will stop a bit further on with "/bin/bash: /usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool: No such file or directory", unless you have qemu installed, but that's a different bug in a different package. [Regression Potential] The only thing that could go wrong is breaking the native build. I've tested that this works fine. You can confirm it with 1. apt-get build-dep consolekit 2. cd consolekit-0.4.5 3. dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us that build should complete as normal. [Original Report] consolekit can't find dbus-1 when cross-building: From the build log: http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/precise/sbuild-ma/consolekit_0.4.5-2-precise-ma-cross-armel-20120417-025041.38177.log Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'dbus-1' found Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package. This turns out to be because a local test in configure.ac used hard- coded 'pkg-config' instead of $PKG_CONFIG which autoconf has set to the correct path (/usr/bin/<triplet>-pkg-config) (This patch is not sufficient to cross-build this package which has other issues).
