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-app
Then
bash -x crossbuilder
a 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'.

any ideas?

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-translations
package 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
all
architecture. 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/control
file. Add:all
afterdh-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?
