Public bug reported: The kernel build-depends on binutils-dev for builds, (because libiberty is used for perf in the linux-tools package). This prevents automated kernel cross-building because binutils-dev is not Multi-Arch: same, and cannot be easily made so due to its dependency on binutils. So apt-get --only-source build-dep -a linux fails
The maintainer's suggested fix is to split out the libiberty static library into an M-A: same package, which the kernel can then build- depend on. The attached patch implements this. ** Affects: binutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: cross patch ** Patch added: "binutils_2.23.1-0ubuntu6-libiberty-dev.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118626/+attachment/3519468/+files/binutils_2.23.1-0ubuntu6-libiberty-dev.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118626 Title: binutils: Split out libiberty-dev to multiarch paths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1118626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
