libgda5 fails to cross build from source for three relatively distinct
reasons.
It fails running vapigen. This tool recently gained a host prefix to
accommodate cross building, but libgda5 uses it by its unprefixed name.
Changing AC_PATH_PROG to AC_PATH_TOOL fixes this in a
backwards-compatible way.
Next up, the gtk-doc scanner fails. This is a common theme and mostly
unfixable. However, libgda5 - like many other packages - separates its
documentation into an arch:all package. As such, there is no need to run
the scanner during an arch-only build and disabling gtk-doc both speeds
up such a build and helps cross building. Using reproducible builds, I
verified that this change does not alter output artifacts.
Last but not least, it fails to discover mysql support, because it only
queries mysql_config and that happens to not work during cross building.
We prefer using pkg-config for it, so I suggest adding pkg-config as
another possible detection mechanism.
You'll find all mentioned changes in the attached patch. Once applying
it, libgda5 cross builds successfully.
Helmut
