Package: debhelper Version: 9.20160814 Severity: wishlist Hi,
right now, if I want to crosscompile a package that uses CMake, I need to override dh_auto_configure: override_dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -- \ -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cmake/CMakeCross.txt \ -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) This toolchain file is shipped with the dpkg-cross package. Would it be possible to integrate this into debhelper proper so I don't need to add a build dependency in order to support cross compilation?
