Package: spirv-tools Version: 2026.3~rc1-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-remote-desktop
gnome-remote-desktop fails to cross build from source, because meson fails running spirv-opt with an "Exec format error". Usually, this indicates that the relevant package (spirv-tools) should be marked Multi-Arch: foreign. It is not always correct to do so however. I looked at the formats spirv-tools deals with. The shader source is an architecture-independent file format, but the binary format (often stored as *.spv) likely also is. As far as I understand it, it is an intermediate representation and spirv-tools ends up always storing it little endian. Those files also happen to be installed into /usr/share rather than below /usr/lib. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it all looks as if the tools contained in spirv-tools are architecture-independent. I'm attaching a patch adding the relevant annotation. Please consider applying it. Helmut
