texlive-bin: test builds on your architectures

[Preuße, Hilmar]

Dear porters,

the CPU support of luajit has extended in the last years (see [1]),
hence I'd like to know if the package texlive-binaries-sse2 can be built
on arm64, mips64el and riscv64. Unfortunately I don't have all CPU's
available to test a build. Would you be so kind to do the task for me?

Simply download the source package of texlive-bin, unpack it and append
your arch to the line containing "amd64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386
powerpc" in d/rules and d/control; then rebuild. The build executes some
kind of test suite at the end.

I would be very glad, to get some test results.

Thanks,
Hilmar

I did this as your hint but unfortunately it fail to build. The log is
here[0] and debdiff is attached.

For luajit on Debian riscv64, I opened a issue[1] some time ago and hope
this helps.

Please let me know if any issues.

BR,

Were you able to do the test? I tried to do so in a qemu chroot, it
failed at the end:

make[7]: Leaving directory

make[6]: *** [Makefile:2035: lj_bcdef.h] Error 1

Not sure, if qemu the correct environment for these kind of tests.
