Bug 942338 – dev-libs/gobject-introspection-1.78.1-r2::gentoo fails to cross compile for sparc64

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description BogDan 2024-10-27 10:22:00 UTC]

cross-compiling dev-libs/weston-14.0.1 for sparc64 stops at dev-libs/gobject-introspection

I'm quite amazed that I could cross compile hundreds of packages, great job folks!

Reproducible: Always

Thank you!

Unfortunately, gobject-introspection is a harder case. It's not truly cross-compilable so as the error says, we need to supply an exe_wrapper pointing to qemu-user, and we haven't yet done meson.eclass wiring for that.

You may be able to hack it up locally though...

Sadly I have no idea how to do it.
Any more hints will be very appreciated.
Or is better to build it on host and install the binpkg on build machine?
