pdebuild-cross-create(1) pbuilder wrapper to create a crossbuild chroot

Synopsis

 pdebuild-cross-create

Description

"pdebuild-cross" wraps pdebuild to support cross-building inside a pbuilder chroot. "pdebuild-cross" needs to be run in the top level source directory of the package (where it can find debian/changelog).

Options

"pdebuild-cross-create" supports no options. Edit the /etc/pdebuild/pdebuild-cross.rc configuration file to change how "pdebuild-cross-create" behaves.

Architecture

/etc/pdebuild-cross/pbuilder.rc defaults to "armel" - edit the /etc/pdebuild/pdebuild-cross.rc configuration file to change the architecture. Ensure that the "MULTISTRAPFILE" configuration value is also modified to specify a "multistrap" configuration file suitable for the architecture required.

However, the current pbuilder hooks also default to "armel" and would need to be replaced for other architectures.
