Hi Julien,

Thanks for looking into this.

Well, I certainly can try, but wouldn't it be easier for you who know
this package best?

I tried compiling the git version of flint on the porterbox
eller.debian.org but apparently the build-dependencies need
libfontconfig1 which is not installable at the moment, I/we need to wait
for it becoming available unless you can compile flint for mis64el
otherwise:

# log in to eller
thibaut at u-wing:~/testhypergeom$ ssh eller.debian.org

# make chroot
thibaut at eller:~$ schroot -b -c sid_mips64el-dchroot -n hypergeom

# install libraries in chroot
thibaut at eller:~$ dd-schroot-cmd -c hypergeom apt-get update
thibaut at eller:~$ dd-schroot-cmd -c hypergeom apt-get install libflint-arb2

# get flint source package
thibaut at eller:~$ dd-schroot-cmd -c hypergeom apt-get install git
thibaut at eller:~$ schroot -r -c hypergeom
(sid_mips64el-dchroot)thibaut at eller:~$ debcheckout flint
^D

# get flint updated source from git
thibaut at eller:~$ mkdir git
thibaut at eller:~$ cd git
thibaut at eller:~/git$ git clone https://github.com/wbhart/flint2.git
# (actually failed, I had to manually download the code into
git/flint2-trunk)
thibaut at eller:~/git$ cp -a ../flint/debian flint2-trunk/debian
thibaut at eller:~/git$ cd flint2-trunk

# install build-dependencies in chroot
thibaut at eller:~/git/flint2-trunk$ dd-schroot-cmd -c hypergeom apt-get
build-dep flint
[...]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libfontconfig1 : Depends: fontconfig-config (>= 2.13.1-4.1) but it is
not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
Command apt-get --dry-run build-dep -- flint exited with exit code 1.
thibaut at eller:~/git/flint2-trunk$



Kind regards, Thibaut.
