I have used the 2.6.39-rc4+ kernel to sort out the difficulties with
building .deb packages for a non-x86 architecture. I repeated the same
steps four times:
fakeroot make ARCH=[x86_64,arm] [CROSS_COMPILE=] deb-pkg
cat debian/control
The four steps proceeded in this order:
1) ARCH=x86_64, the patch I submitted was not applied - succeeded
2) ARCH=x86_64, the patch I submitted was applied - failed
3) ARCH=arm, the patched I submitted was applied - succeeded
4) ARH=arm, the patched I submitted was removed - failed
The problem appears to be in lines 43 & 44 of the latest patch I sent:
x86_64)
debarch=amd64 ;;
The debian arch for x86_64 is being set to amd64, which is getting
written into the debian/control file prior to invocation of
dpkg-gencontrol. If my patch is not applied, i386 gets written into the
debian/control file instead, and the x86_64 cross compile succeeds.
However, when my patch is not applied i386 is written into the
debian/control file when cross compiling for arm, which leads to the
script failing. When my patch is applied, arm is written into the
debian/control file, when cross compiling for arm, and this succeeds.
I will attempt to modify the debarch for x86_64 to remain x86_64 and see
if that works. If so, I'll submit a new patch. The notes from what I
have described so far are included below.
Regards,
Robert Gordon
