Re: Build-Depend'ing on libasound2-dev just for Linux
Thanks,
Your option sound like exactly what I need. The package using libasound2-dev
during build only needs it if we are using Linux. The packages could possibly
be built on a Debian BSD port or whatever in the future.
I apologize if my e-mail wasn't clear. The linux-kernel-headers build-dep is
probably the sanest solution for my package, as it would cut out a lot of old
cruft that has been hanging around.
Are those archs (hurd-i386 netbsd-i386 kfreebsd-i386) defined by dpkg or
another package like type-handling??
Thanks everyone :)
