Originally created by @floli on GitHub (Feb 11, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/142

Currrently, the crosscompile setup at https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/wiki/Cross-compiling gives instruction how to compile for the portaudio backend and I have no intentions to change the default.
However, it would be nice to also add the dependencies needed to build for pulseaudio, e.g. so that
docker run -v /tmp/librespot-build:/build librespot-cross cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --no-default-features --features pulseaudio-backend works. Currently there is libraries not found -lpulse -lpulse-simple at linking.

You need libpulse-dev
Add it after https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/blob/master/contrib/Dockerfile#L25

We just need to add this to the Dockerfile dependencies to compile right? If so, create a PR and will test/merge to make sure it doesn't drastically increase docker image build time, then merge.

Adding this line

RUN apt-get install -y libpulse-dev libpulse-dev:arm64 libpulse-dev:armel libpulse-dev:armhf libpulse-dev:mipsel

gives me

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpulse-dev:arm64 : Depends: libglib2.0-dev:arm64 but it is not going to be installed
 libpulse-dev:armhf : Depends: libglib2.0-dev:armhf but it is not going to be installed
 libpulse-dev:armel : Depends: libglib2.0-dev:armel but it is not going to be installed
 libpulse-dev:mipsel : Depends: libglib2.0-dev:mipsel but it is not going to be installed

when I add the same line for libglib2.0-dev, I get conflicts

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglib2.0-dev : Conflicts: libglib2.0-dev:arm64 but 2.50.3-2 is to be installed

but honestly, I do just some cargo cult changes here, no idea what I am actually doing.

Unfortunately not all debian packages support side by side installation of multiple architecures. Seems like that's the case here.

You might be able to use a Docker ARG to enable the passing of a --build-arg arch=arm64 for example the conditionally install dependencies depending on which architecture you want to build...

I can confirm that it build and runs just fine with your patch. I just build the armhf version for my Raspi 3 running with Raspian.

For those who wish to cross-compile pulseaudio support, the patch suggested above by @awiouy works. We're not switching the build image to unstable though, so closing this for now.

What's wrong with switching the build image to unstable? Debian's notion of unstable is definitely good enough for us

Workaround indicates that the problem will likely be solved by a stretch upgrade or a buster release. In other words the issue will solve itself.
Building on sid might break or break system dependencies of the compiled code.

I doubt this is the sort of thing that gets backported into new stable releases, and a buster release is at least a year or two away.
Does this work on current buster?

@unimatrix27 commented on GitHub (Apr 25, 2018):

I have tried to apply this patch to cross compile for Raspberry Pi but there I still get missing -lpulse - I tried to add libpulse-dev_11.1-5+b1_armhf.deb as an additional dependency from Raspbian into the build script for PI, but that did not help. I also tried the other version that I found on raspbian.Mirror.

Any ideas?

The patch works; the compile works, but it's compiled against glibc 2.27, which is not available on my distro (current version of "DietPi") which is at 2.24
:-(
