Hi All, I have got into a bit of a mess with my armeb cross-compilation environment and I think I need help now, before I make things worse with clueless tinkering.
The target is my NSLU2, running the unofficial armeb sarge from debonaras.org. This dates from about a year ago and I have no desire to change it. At that time I had a working cross-compilation environment on my old PC, but since then I have replaced the PC and I'm finding it difficult to get it working on the new system. The problem is that some of the dpkg-cross'd packages that I have were converted with one version of dpkg-cross and some were converted with another, before and after the introduction of the -dcv1 suffix. Unfortunately I can't say exactly which packages were built with which version. Here's a representative example: I want to compile some C++ code that uses Boost. On the NSLU2 I already have the Boost libraries installed: ii libboost-program-op 1.32.0-6 program options library for C++ ii libboost-thread1.32 1.32.0-6 portable C++ multi-threading So I want to install dpkg-cross'd versions of the matching -dev packages on my PC. I get the armeb .deb from debonaras, convert and install: $ wget http://ftp.debonaras.org/debian/pool/main/b/boost/libboost-dev_1.32.0-6_armeb.deb $ dpkg-cross -b -a armeb *_armeb.deb Building libboost-dev-armeb-cross_1.32.0-6_all.deb # dpkg -i *_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package libboost-dev-armeb-cross. (Reading database ... 58249 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libboost-dev-armeb-cross (from libboost-dev-armeb-cross_1.32.0-6_all.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libboost-dev-armeb-cross: libboost-dev-armeb-cross depends on libstdc++-dev-armeb-dcv1; however: Package libstdc++-dev-armeb-dcv1 is not installed. dpkg: error processing libboost-dev-armeb-cross (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: libboost-dev-armeb-cross So the newly-dpkg-cross'd .deb depends on libstdc++-dev-armeb-dcv1. I don't have anything called that, but I do have this: Package: libstdc++5-3.3-dev-armeb-cross Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: devel Installed-Size: 4492 Maintainer: Debian GCC Maintainers <[email protected]> Architecture: all Source: gcc-3.3 Version: 1:3.3.6-13 Provides: libstdc++-dev-armeb-cross Depends: gcc-3.3-base (>= 1:3.3.6-13), libstdc++5-armeb-cross (>= 1:3.3.6-13), libc6-dev-armeb-cross (>= 2.3.2.ds1-16), g++-3.3-armeb-linux-gnu (>= 1:3.3.6-13) Description: The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) Note that this provides libstdc++-dev-armeb-cross, not libstdc++-dev-armeb-dcv1. So, I could throw away my entire cross-compilation world and build it again using the version of dpkg-cross that does -dcv1 not -cross. But this would be very painful. I'm hoping that there is some more or less hacky way that I can make everything "just work". Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
