I'm sorry, I cannot check. nasm now Build-Depends on libfont-ttf-perl
and that dependency is unsatisfiable due to the multiarch interpreter
problem. Any clue what nasm needs this for? The changelog only says that
it needs it, but not why.

Bug#850933: nasm FTCBFS: does not pass --host to ./configure

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Hello maintainer(s),

2017-01-11 11:51 Helmut Grohne:

Source: nasm
Version: 2.12.01-1
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

nasm fails to cross build from source, because it does not pass --host
to ./configure. The easiest way of doing so is letting dh_auto_configure
handle it. After doing so, nasm cross builds successfully. Please apply
the attached patch.


This is a worthy patch in its own right, but I think that this has been
superceded by the change to use mostly "modern" packaging and
minimalistic debian/rules with dh (so it's actually fixed in
nasm/2.13.01-2 if I am not mistaken).

Can you please confirm or dispell?


Cheers.
