Crossbuilder - mk-build-deps
-
Hi!
I'm trying to get the crossbuilder working on the example in the documentation. But I'm stuck on an some thing to do with mk-build-deps??
So I'm using qemu/kvm running Ubuntu 18.04.3.... fresh install...
crossbuilder setup-lxd cd ~/src/git/address-book-appThen
bash -x crossbuildera lot of output... but the last command is:
+ lxc exec address-book-app-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev -- sh -c 'mk-build-deps -t '\''apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes --no-install-recommends -y'\'' -i --host-arch armhf /home/demo/patched_debian_control' dpkg-architecture: warning: specified GNU system type arm-linux-gnueabihf does not match CC system type x86_64-linux-gnu, try setting a correct CC environment variable dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_prep dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_install dh_installdocs dh_installchangelogs dh_compress dh_fixperms dh_installdeb dh_gencontrol dpkg-gencontrol: warning: File::FcntlLock not available; using flock which is not NFS-safe dh_gencontrol debug symbol wrapper: all non-arch-all packages for this build platform armhf: address-book-app-cross-build-deps dh_gencontrol debug symbol wrapper: packages to act on: address-book-app-cross-build-deps dh_gencontrol debug symbol wrapper: ignored packages: dh_gencontrol debug symbol wrapper: no debian/address-book-app-cross-build-deps-dbgsym, skipping package address-book-app-cross-build-deps dh_md5sums dh_builddeb dpkg-deb: building package 'address-book-app-cross-build-deps' in '../address-book-app-cross-build-deps_1.0_armhf.deb'.

The real error is here:
Removing address-book-app-cross-build-deps:armhf because I can't find dh-translations:armhf
This means that the
dh-translationspackage doesn't exist forarmhf, and it has not specified how it should be installed for cross-building situations.Looking at the dh-translations package in xenial on the package tracker, it only has a package available for the
allarchitecture. This means that it can run on any architecture.You can fix this error, therefore, by specifying the architecture you'd like to install in the
debian/controlfile. Add:allafterdh-translations, under theBuild-Depends:heading. Then try building again. -
@erlend This issue is caused by some multilib thing. I have this issue for other packages. It sometimes help to explicitely set the platform. I would try to edit the debian/control file and see if it works with dh-translations:all
Please don't think I understand this. I keep on changing stuff till it works.
And open an issue on github (for the app or for crossbuilder)
-
Thank you both!
It seems to have worked.
However I got a new error.... (but later in the script)... And then I fixed that one too...
Seems the dh-translations was still missing... but now I have fixed it....
And managed to compile it!

I'm late to this party, but @erlend is there something that should be fixed in the docs?
