No, in general dpkg-cross does not require to change the PATH (at least in principle), but you have to make sure that the CC variable dpkg-cross automatically defines (usually, "gcc-i386-gnu") is properly passed from debian/rules to the upstream Makefile. > > Also, note that you might need a new dpkg-genchanges, see Bug #25537. > > Has the bug been fixed, or do I need to grab the source, edit it, and > recompile (hmm...NMU anyone?)? It has not been fixed yet, as far as I know. Fortunately there is nothing to compile, because dpkg-genchanges is written in perl. In my system I just changed it "in place" in /usr/bin. -- "6c92b3ed06f20c485767fbb9112e6fdc" (a truly random sig)
