Hi, to try out one or another patch, I like to compile modemmanager. My target systems are ARM (32 bits), so naturally I like to cross-compile it on a faster architecture. This worked well in the past (versions 0.5 and 0.6), but so far I fail with 1.10.
It seems, that modemmanager needs gobject-introspection to build nowadays. However, according to this comment by Helmut Grohne, I'm in trouble there:
Anything that has gobject-introspection anywhere in its Build-Depends (directly or indirectly), effectively is not cross buildable on Debian.
...
If you need to do cross compilation on Debian, avoid gnome-ish stuff.
...
ptxdist and yocto use qemu for gobject-introspection.
(https://bugs.debian.org/905715#30) Using qemu for cross-compilation is something I would like to avoid. Using it for a complete build is very slow and using it only for certain build steps makes the build process more complicated. Why or for what purpose is gobject-introspection used in modemmanager? Is there a realistic chance to leave out anything related to gobject-introspection when building modemmanager? Like in the good old times of 0.5/0.6? :-) TIA & Cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
