Bug#900705: x42-plugins FTCBFS: many reasons

[Robin Gareus]

Hi Helmut,

Thanks for looking into this! The PKG_CONFIG patch is potentially
useful, although I don't see why this is required. The plugins cross
compile just fine here.

Your patch does however include debian/* files and also seems to include
some changes other than s/pkg-config/$(PKG_CONFIG)/.

Do you maintain your work in a git repo? If so it would be handy to
export each of the patches separately, since upstream maintains the
projects as separate repos: https://github.com/x42/x42-plugins


To be honest I'd rather see these plugins be removed from debian until
they're statically linked and self-contained. As I've explained
countless times in the past, dynamically linking audio-plugins is
problematic and incorrect.

Cheers!
robin
