Bug#1110406: vimb FTCBFS: hard-codes pkg-config
Package: vimb
Version: 3.7.0+git20240706-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-cross@lists.debian.org, merkys@debian.org
Dear Maintianer,
vimb fails to cross-build due to hard-coding pkg-config in config.mk.
The right arch-triplet prefixed pkg-config is passed by default in cross
builds which this should use.
Please consider applying attached patch.
Thanks
Nilesh
