Bug#904688: qttools-opensource-src: FTBFS: please drop the libclang-dev B-D on some architectures



Control: severity -1 wishlist

Hi Thorsten!

Source: qttools-opensource-src
Version: 5.11.1-3
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past), on d-ports arches

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=qttools-opensource-src

LLVM/clang simply is not available for many Debian architectures
as it’s not portable. Please drop the B-D for these architectures.


I haven't looked at the code but it seems that this dependency is now required in order to build qdoc, so reducing the severity to wishlist.

I don't know if it's possible at all to build everything but qdoc. And the effect of this could be many packages starting to FTBFS.

The only way around I see is submitting patches upstream to avoid clanf usage. Remember they need to go directly to upstream, we can't forward then except for very small changes.

Regards, Lisandro.
