Arch-dependent Build-Depends
Greetings,
I'm trying to make petsc Build-Depends: on atlas for most arches, but
lapack where there is no atlas. Actually, to make things simpler inside
the package, I link against lapack on PPC, m68k and sparc, so they can
share configuration information, since they are all 32-bit big-endian
and two of the three don't have atlas at all. (Maybe I should include
hppa in there too? What does uname -m return there? I need a way to do
this which is Debian-independent, so I can contribute it upstream.)
So, I think I want:
Build-Depends: atlas-dev [!powerpc !m68k !sparc !hppa], lapack-dev
[powerpc m68k sparc hppa]
But I don't see the proper syntax for doing this properly. Is that
correct as is above? The potato packaging manual, section 8.1, has only
exceptions for a single arch...
At some point there will be atlas for all of these platforms, then these
problems will go away, but I'm not certain this will happen in time for
woody...
Thanks,
