Source: quickjs Version: 2025.04.26-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
quickjs fails to cross build from source, because it passes host architecture compiler flags to the build architecture compiler. Before we go deeper let me point out that the Debian (and GNU) terminology does not line up with the terminology used by the upstream project. What Debian calls "host", does not bear a name or prefix at the upstream project and what Debian calls "build" is called "host" upstream. While the upstream Makefile already distinguishes those two compiler executables, it does not yet distinguish the compiler and linker flags passed to either of them yet. Since Debian passes architecture-dependent flags (e.g. for amd64 and arm64), this now fails. I propose adding new variables (HOST_CFLAGS and HOST_LDFLAGS matching the upstream terminology) and providing them from the packaging to achieve proper separation. Please find a patch attached for your convenience and consider upstreaming the contained cross.patch file. Helmut
