Package: re2c Version: 0.16-2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap Control: affects -1 + src:ninja-build
ninja-build fails to execute re2c during a cross build. It simply says "Build-Depends: re2c" and since re2c has no Multi-Arch header, that will default to using the host architecture re2c, which usually is not executable during cross builds. It seems that the correct solution is to use the build architecture re2c. Either ninja-build can annotate its re2c dependency with :native or re2c can mark itself as Multi-Arch: foreign. A cursory look at re2c tells, that it only contains one executable, no libraries, and a few text files. /usr/bin/re2c appears to be a compiler compiling the re2c language to C. It seems that the transformation is entirely independent of the architecture of the re2c binary. Thus the Multi-Arch: foreign marking seems to be correct and thus preferable. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
