Version: 1.9.5~alpha2+dfsg1-2
Tags: patch upstream
User: [email protected]
Usertags: ftcbfs
gentle fails to cross build from source, because upstream hard codes
build architecture build tools in multiple places. The most difficult
one is the use of mysql_config. It is fundamentally incompatible with
cross compilation (as you can either run it or get sensible values, but
not both at the same time). The other aspect is hard coding the build
architecture pkg-config. I'm attaching a patch that converts this to
pkg-config via PKG_CHECK_MODULES in a way that seamlessly falls back to
mysql_config when pkg-config does not work out. Please consider applying
the patch in forky.
