N:   All files in this package are architecture-independent, but the package is 
not marked Architecture: all.

N:   The package should probably be marked Architecture: all.

[usr/lib/pkgconfig/magic_enum.pc]
N:

the cross-compilation wrapper of pkg-config does not search this directory

instead.

N:   For projects that use GNU Autotools, a simple method is moving to a

Can you please help me figure this out?

Thanks,

I am packaging magic_enum, a header-only C++ library which uses CMake with GNUInstallDirs. AFAIK the package should be arch-independent as there is no architecture dependent code in it. Previously I was advised to set it toArchitecture: any and Multi-arch: same since I was shipping files tousr/lib, but when I do so, lintian gives me the following warnings: So I switched to Architecture: all andMulti-arch: foreign but the second warning (pkg-config-unavailable-for-cross-compilation) still persists. I have tried modifying the source and also tried setting the CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR variable manually, but somehow I can't get it to install to the multi-arch libdir.
