Source: soci Version: 4.1.2-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
soci fails to cross build from source, because it fails to detect mysql/mariadb, skips that part of the build and eventually dh_install fails on missing files. Now default-libmysqlclient-dev is in Build-Depends and that should all work. A look at the log indicates that it tries using mysql_config. This tool happens to not work at all during cross compilation and it is recommended that packages use pkg-config instead. Indeed, soci's source tries using pkg-config before falling back to mysql_config, but nothing depends on pkg-config or pkgconf, so this part happens to not work. Making cross building work is a matter of adding this small build dependency. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
