Package: libmimedir
Version: 0.4-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: codehelp@debian.org
Usertags: crossbuilt


In line with the other cross-building support bugs:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/11/msg00116.html

These patches are necessary to allow libmimedir to cross-build in Debian.

The effect is to replace AC_PROG_RANLIB with AC_PROG_LIBTOOL in
configure.in and ensure that --tag=CC is called as part of the libtool
support. These changes are made to upstream files so I've implemented
the patches using dpatch. Feel free to use whatever method you choose -
as long as configure.in uses AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and Makefile.in uses
./libtool --tag=CC --mode=.... when cross compiling (the current
./libtool script gets confused when --mode is arm-linux-gnu-gcc instead
of the native gcc).

Other changes in debian/rules and debian/control flow from the upstream
changes - using libtoolize to update libtool (supported by the change to
configure.in) and autoconf to transfer the changes in configure.in into
./configure itself. (aclocal required by libtoolize).

Finally, debian/rules is also updated to support --build and --host
following the recommendations in the autotools-dev README.

FYI the original failure is that libmimedir uses gcc even when cross
compiling so that the built package contains binaries for the wrong
architecture. Fixing that results in the original ./libtool failing due
to the lack of the --tag=CC option. Fixing that reveals an error in
./libtool itself that tries to link the cross-built binaries using the
native ld because the outdated libtool script is not updated in response
to the --build and --host options given to ./configure. Fixing that
means generating libtool in ./configure which is where 'libtoolize
--force --copy' comes in. (--copy is used because the ltmain.sh script
from upstream needs to be updated too and the default action of
replacing it with a symlink causes dpkg to complain). Finally, in order
to get libtoolize support into ./configure, configure.in needs the patch
and autoconf needs to transfer the modified configure.in macros into
./configure.
