[Raspbian-devel] Building the Debian XBMC package on Raspbian

[Andrei POPESCU]

Dear Maintainer(s)

I'm trying to build the Debian XBMC package with minimal changes on my 
Raspberry Pi running Raspbian[1].

First a question about the package(ing). The notice in README.Debian 
mentions XBMC is build for armhf (confirmed by packages.debian.org), but 
in debian/ I noticed occurrences of both armel and armhf.

$ grep -r '\(armel\|armhf\)' debian/*
debian/changelog:  * Only enable builds for amd64, i386, and armhf.
debian/control: libgles2-mesa-dev [armel] | libgl1-mesa-dev | libgl-dev,
debian/control: libomxil-bellagio-dev [armel],
debian/control:Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf
debian/control:Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf
debian/README.Debian:on Darwin. Furthermore, only i386, amd64, and armhf packages are built in Debian.
debian/rules:# Enable gles for armel
debian/rules:ifeq (,$(filter armel,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)))

Is this on purpose?


I've added armhf to debian/rules so that it picks up the manually 
installed GLES libraries, but the build fails with this:

Any suggestions?

[1] Just in case you are not aware: Debian's armhf doesn't support the 
Raspberry Pi (ARMv6 only), which is why Raspbian was created.

Kind regards,
Andrei
