Bug#841923: AW: Bug#841923: libclang-common-3.9-dev: missing multilib binaries

[Lange Norbert]

Hello,

yes I know and the bug is for an older version and I added information (that most likely just the build depency is missing).
I am not really looking through the debian bug report system and how its supposed to be used for this,

Further, the patch I proposed there wouldn`t be needed currently.

For testing... the libraries are plainly missing. I suppose its the automatic build system than just installs the build depencies and nothing else.
I built the debian source archive locally and it works fine.

Whats left is splitting out the i386 (and i686) libraries, or deciding wether this is actually necessary (debian guidelines about non-native libs?).
But IMHO this could be done independently.

I am happy to help out, but the mailing list seems to be too high-latency for this. Any proposition how we should go about this?
If you add the build depencies, I should finally get libraries from the repository just like I built them locally and have used for a long time. I can then use this to start some builds.

If its necessary to split out the libraries, I can work on that if I get some definitive rules ("clang-multiarch" meta-package and lib32 variants?). See https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/gcc-6 how this is done for gcc
This sure will get tricky, since some libs dont build on x86, some more dont build on mips, etc...


Kind Regards,
Norbert

You already reported bug #829441 about that. I am happy to apply this but I need help for testing it.
