Symbols
Hello,
I have a package (witty,
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/witty/ ) which is a C++
library which uses Boost. This package is mentored by Vincent Bernat,
he told me to ask here about the following issue.
In the latest version (2.2.0-1), I added a symbols file I generated on
my i386 machine. Turns out witty requires a different symbols file for
each platform (i. e. the amd64 symbols file is not the same as the
i386 symbols file). My question is: how do I generate symbols files on
exotic platforms (sparc, s390, etc) I don't have access to?
I know of Mole ( symbols for witty 2.1.5-1:
http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/seedsymbols?pkgname=witty ) but Mole
only generates symbols for already-uploaded packages and I need to
have the symbols before the package is uploaded to the archive.
Or should I just give up and not use a symbols file with C++ libraries?
Thank you.
