Package: emdebian-buildsupport (2.1.1)

emdebian crossbuilding support

A collection of scripts to ease cross-building Debian packages for Emdebian, reducing package size, separating translations into individual tdeb packages and handling dependencies. Includes support for installing cross building toolchains and building custom toolchains, automated patching of Debian packages to suit Emdebian needs and cross building Debian packages inside or outside a chroot.

emdebian-buildsupport does not include toolchain support, you need to use the main emdebian-tools package or provide your own cross-building toolchains.

Includes support for debian/xcontrol files and the debian-xcontrol package, to specify which cross dependencies need to be installed with apt-cross to make the cross objects available to the cross compiler and cross-building autobuilder support.
