Bug#902576: dataquay FTCBFS: uses the build architecture qmake

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: dataquay
Version: 0.9.1-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

dataquay fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture qmake. Using dh_auto_configure, you get the host
architecture qmake. The attached patch implements that, but it doesn't
quite make dataquay cross buildable. Please consider applying it and
close this bug when doing so.

The next failure reason is that dataquay runs tests during
dh_auto_build and tests typically fail during cross compilation with an
Exec format error, which is exactly what happens here. Thus cross
builders usually pass DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Since dataquay runs
tests as part from dh_auto_build, the nocheck flag isn't honoured though
and tests are run anyway. Could you maybe also try to figure out how to
make DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck work for dataquay?
