It looks like it is possible to cross-build Debian packages from Ubuntu, but all the documents I found from the Internet are not very clear.
I'm wondering if someone can give me some clear and simple instructions.
Thanks

I think you can actually install debian binary packages via (Ubuntu's) apt-get, simply by changing the
sources.list
file to point to debian main. – jpaugh – 2013-06-08T17:56:37.073Remember, that apt-get is really debian's tool, which Ubuntu borrows... So debian packages are already compatible with Ubuntu's package manager. – jpaugh – 2013-06-08T17:57:33.700
Of course, Debian and Ubuntu have different policies, and differing system configurations. This could bite you at some point, but idk. – jpaugh – 2013-06-08T17:58:18.000
thanks @jpaugh. I think the better approach is to install Debian chroot, and build there. – xpt – 2013-06-08T19:22:56.900
