Re: trying to cross-compile

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hi.

The Debian apache source seems not to be Hurd-friendly yet, so it may need
some tweaking. [ In fact, dpkg itself is not Hurd-friendly ].

Take a look at the debian/rules, it says:

arch=$(shell dpkg --print-architecture)

This is i386 for intel, but should be really "hurd-i386".

A common problem is that some debian/rules try to configure
with "$arch-linux" as the configuration string.

In this case just append "i386-gnu" to the configure line.

Hope this helps.
