Source: cfengine3 Version: 3.10.2-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch cfengine3 fails to cross build from source for a number of reasons. The first reason is that it does not pass --host to ./configure and thus configures for the build architecture. Using dh_auto_configure fixes that. Then it fails finding libxml2 headers in -Iyes/include/libxml2, because ./configure insists that xml2-config is unusable for cross building, but not using it breaks the build. Fixing ./configure to behave like native builds fixes that. Finally it fails generating the manual pages. I don't have a generic solution for this issue. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nodoc could be used to work around it, but I don't like that. So I am attaching a patch for the first two issues and hope that you can apply it even though it doesn't fully make cfengine3 cross build. Please close this bug when doing so.
