Source: sqlite3
Version: 3.53.2-1
Severity: important
Justification: breaks architecture cross bootstrap
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: ftcbfs
User: [email protected]
Usertags: rebootstrap
sqlite3 fails to cross build from source. There are several issues at
hand most of which relate to the transition from autotools to TCL-based
build system.
The configure script no longer accepts separating options and values
using spaces. An equal sign must be used. This affects the --host
option.
The build system now builds the lemon executable for the build
architecture only. I suggest modifying the upstream build system to be
able to build lemon for both architectures while only building the build
architecture one by default. The Debian packaging will build the host
one as well an install it.
debian/rules hard codes a build architecture pkg-config invocation. I
suggest using dpkg's buildtools.mk to figure out a suitable pkg-config.
Please consider applying the attached patch and also forward the
upstream patch if possible.
