What do you mean ? / is / 'target' is a misleading term in cross compiling - it is probably best to reserve the keyword 'target' as referring solely to the TARGET variable specified to gcc when building the cross compiler. 'target' in that context, has no specific meaning during the cross build itself. Emebian uses the terminology: --build == Big or Desktop (Build or builD) depending on your point of view. --host == handheld Emdebian supports amd64, i386 and powerpc as --build. My primary --host is ARM but others are working on other objectives, like mips, and other architectures are supported. The cross built package will install into /usr/ just as before because it is expected to be installed on the host device where / is correct. When using dpkg-cross, the library is rebuilt to install into: /usr/$triplet/lib/ and -dev packages into: /usr/$triplet/include/ where $triplet = `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE` When dpkg-buildpackage is called with the --arch option, dpkg-architecture is called to set the appropriate values. That makes the --host libfoo.so available to the cross compiler running on the --build by a mechanism of paths and symlinks. It is this support that is being rewritten during the migration of dpkg-cross back into dpkg. This /usr/$triplet/ is only used to provide the shared objects during the cross build - the final package looks in /usr/lib/ when loading the dynamic links at runtime. Currently, 'dpkg-buildpackage -a' is not fully functional. Emdebian uses wrapper code in 'emdebuild' that implements a temporary solution until bug 439979 is closed. > It's likely not / so it can > be about anywhere in the tree.
