Indeed, I should have mentioned that I am working on this myself! (Still a bit new so please bear with me.) I created a bug since I'm a bit stuck and wanted to try to get other people involved, and to track the work. I don't have a build log handy to provide specifics just now, but at this point, I've got a successful build (sans the docs) although the main problem at this point is that the shared libraries are all coming out unversioned, i.e. `usr/lib/*.so` instead of `usr/lib/*.so.x.y.z`. I've already made a patch for CMakeLists.txt which adds multi-arch support, and I presume I'll have to do the same for the versioning and the docs. I was hoping to find a package I could refer to which had a similar unversioned shared library problem but was fixed with a patch--do you happen to know of any? I am having the exact same unversioned shared library problem trying to package SMESH, which depends on med-fichier, and it's the reason I started investigating this issue. So, there's a nice 2-birds-with-1-stone opportunity here. Thanks for your quick response to the bug by the way! P.S. By later today I'll have a buildlog + my changes up on salsa.d.o and I'll update the bug with that info.
