This is the same approach used +to make several other packages build for those architectures in Debian, +as per [bug 541848][]. You can do something like this in your packaging: + + DEB_SETUP_GHC_CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell test -e /usr/lib/ghc-$(GHC_VERSION)/libHSrts_thr.a || echo --flags=-threaded) + +Bustle doesn't directly use Haskell-land threads, but I don't trust it +not to break in this configuration, so it's not the default. + +[bug 541848]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=541848#33 + Bustle 0.4.1 (2012-08-29) ------------------------- |
