Subject: [Balloon] Cross-building debian packages
Is there anyone still here? The list is very quiet, but I think it's
still the right place to post this...

I'm trying to cross-build a Debian package - ppp, as it happens. I can do
apt-get source ppp
cd ppp-2.4.5
dpkg-buildpackage

and it works fine as a native build. dpkg-buildpackage has a '-a' flag
for architecture, which I tried on a clean source tree:

dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel

but it just builds me the native (amd64) version. Am I missing
something? At the moment I'm having to build it natively on a Bubble
board which is excruciatingly slow.

Thanks
Chris
