[Bug 873584] Re: udev fails to cross-build with xdeb

[Loïc Minier]

I don't get the error you're getting, instead I get:
[...]
===== Importing gobject-introspection_1.30.0-0ubuntu2 =====
[...]
(other imports)
[...]
===== Building udev_173-0ubuntu4 =====
[...]
checking for INTROSPECTION... yes
checking for USBUTILS... yes
checking for USB database location... /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids
configure: error: pci.ids not found, try --with-pci-ids-path=
make: *** [build-deb/config.status] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

which seems similar to the issue fixed in the karmic ~ubuntu-crossbuild/cross PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-crossbuild/+archive/cross/+packages
udev (147~-7~cross1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Ubuntu karmic. Remaining changes:
    - Be more cross-compilation friendly: pass --with-pci-ids-path to
      configure for deb and udeb and change configure.ac to only
      AC_CHECK_FILES when autodetecting the path to the PCI ids database.
    - Disable gtk-doc building when cross-compiling since it requires
      running a generated source (lt-gudev-scan) which is usually not
      possible when cross-compiling; should really be fixed to build this
      scanner with BUILD_CC instead, but this would require building whole
      projects twice too.

again, this is with a variant=buildd oneiric chroot.

** Package changed: xdeb (Ubuntu) => udev (Ubuntu)

Title:
  udev fails to cross-build with xdeb

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  udev fails to cross-build due to xdeb failing to install cross-
  dependencies:

  Considering source package udev
  sudo apt-get -y --allow-unauthenticated -o Dir::State::Lists=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/lists.apt -o Dir::Cache::pkgcache=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/pkgcache.bin -o Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/srcpkgcache.bin -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/sources.list --no-install-recommends install gir1.2-glib-2.0-armel-cross libgirepository1.0-dev-armel-cross libglib2.0-dev-armel-cross libselinux1-dev-armel-cross libsepol1-dev-armel-cross libusb-dev-armel-cross

  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   gir1.2-glib-2.0-armel-cross : Depends: libgirepository-1.0-1-armel-cross (>= 0.10.2) but it is not going to be installed
                                 Depends: libglib2.0-0-armel-cross (>= 2.28.0) but it is not going to be installed
   libgirepository1.0-dev-armel-cross : Depends: libgirepository-1.0-1-armel-cross (= 0.10.7-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
   libglib2.0-dev-armel-cross : Depends: libglib2.0-0-armel-cross (= 2.28.6-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
                                Depends: libpcre3-armel-cross (>= 8.10) but it is not installable

  This may be an issue of unclean build chroot rather than xdeb doing it
  wrong.

  Background:
  The build command is:
  xdeb --only-explicit -a armel --prefer-apt --apt-source --debug --force-rebuild udev

  The actual build command xdeb issues is:
  debuild --no-lintian -eUSER -eCONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel -eDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck -eGTEST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -eGTEST_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib -ePKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig -eDH_VERBOSE=1 -aarmel -b -uc -us -tc
