Attached are emdebian patch files for ltrace and its dependency libelf. They build ok and run on target. A few points I'm not quite sure on: In ltrace: ======= ltrace initially failed to cross build as it used uname -m in a sub makefile (sysdeps/linux-gnu/Makefile) to build architecture dependent code. I added a debian/patches/99_emdebian_no_auto_arch_detect.patch to fix this by using DEB_HOST_ARCH -ARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ \ - -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/ -e s/ppc64/ppc/ -e s/s390x/s390/) +ARCH := $(DEB_HOST_ARCH) However the Makefile also contains a clean target that uses ARCH. Since clean is called by debuild after unpatching it was cleaning the build machine arch not the target arch which caused dpkg-source to fail on the second build. To fix this I call the correct clean target from debian/rules too: +clean:: + # sysdeps/linux-gnu/Makefile clean has been unpatched so assumes build ARCH + $(MAKE) -C sysdeps/linux-gnu/$(DEB_HOST_ARCH) clean + in libelf: ====== It uses a configure file generated by autoconf 2.13 and autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz states cross-compiling with autoconf 2.13 is an Evil art, which shall turn sane and bright minds into quivering wrecks upon contact with the madness that lies in that path. I basically copied the existing rxvt package for this - it seems to work and i'm not (yet) a quivering wreck :) hope this is ok (changing autconf versions seems more like a job for the debian package not emdebian patches) Something odd in I18N: it was shipping a compiled gmo file rather than generating it from the po. It was also preserving this file (po/de.gmo) in debian/rules by backing it up in build: and restoring it in clean: This worked ok for the first build but em_installtdeb removed the file causing the backup made on the next build to fail. I just patched debian/rules to remove the file and generate it each time [the generated one is identical to the shipped one] It looks like po/Makefile can compile a helper program however this is not used when gettext is available.
