Trying cross build to ARM hardware (Raspberry): nothing provides build-essential

English Open Build Service (OBS)

I’m trying to build a package for a Raspberry on Debian Wheezy.
I enabled arm6 and arm 7 builds.

When I try a local build of the package I get :


 System> osc build Debian_7.0 armv6l feathercoin_arm.dsc
...
...
Getting buildconfig from server and store to /home/......../feathercoin/.osc/_buildconfig-Debian_7.0-armv6l
buildinfo is broken... it says:
unresolvable: nothing provides build-essential

The .dsc file currently is a skeleton only:

Format: 1.0
Source: feathercoin
Version: 0.8.6.2
Binary: feathercoind
Maintainer: Wellen reiter <wellenreiter@t-online.de>
Architecture: ARM
Build-Depends:  
Files: 
 69b19ce604e2f4d8b5eb7aadfd9a74fb       3391169 feathercoin-0.8.6.2.tar.gz

when I do this:

osc build --alternative-project=openSUSE:Factory:ARM standard armv6l FeatherCoin.spec

the rpm is build fine.

Also builds to Debian7 x86_64 and i856 work without problems

Any hints, what I do wrong?

Hi
I would imagine in your project configuration you can set the
build-requires to point build-essentials to packages you need that are
equivalent in Debian.

You could look on OBS at other Debian builds to see if they have done
any tweaking. Else IRC #opensuse-buildservice or the Build Service
mailing list and see if someone can offer advise.
