The problem here is with the packaging of valac, not with dino-im. We need a valac for the build architecture (to be able to run it), but dependency resolution gets us a host architecture one. Executing it yields an "Exec format error". It needs to be fixed on the valac side. I expect that dino-im cross builds just fine once we fix the packaging of valac. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, fixing the valac side is not trivial, because it also supports a compiling mode. Also unfortunately, the valac maintainers seem to be very busy and unable to reply to bug reports in a timely manner. Helmut

Note this remark by upstream in xmpp:c...@dino.im?join : [12:55:59] larma: debacle: I did cross compile dino.

Bug#941399: dino-im FTCBFS: configures for the build architecture
Source: dino-im Version: 0.0.git20190916.f746ce7-1 Tags: patch User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftcbfs dino-im has a strange build system. It actually uses cmake with ninja but wraps it inside configure and make. Doing so prevents debhelper from passing the relevant cross compilation flags to cmake and thus configures for the build architecture. The attached patch makes it use cmake and ninja directly. However it doesn't make dino-im cross buildable yet due to #889925. Please consider applying this patch anyway as an incremental improvement and close this bug when doing so.
