cannot build on ARM Debian

[dimpase]

One has

>>> glob("/usr/lib/*/libsuitesparseconfig.so")[0].split('/')[3]
'arm-linux-gnueabihf'

and these values should be used in setup.py, instead of hardcoded x86_64... ones.

In fact, for Debian instead of

SUITESPARSE_LIB_DIR = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

one can just as well do

SUITESPARSE_LIB_DIR = ""

as the linker knows this directory already.

I've successfully built CVXOPT on a Debian ARM Docker image by providing the SuiteSparse source directly as described in the docs (src). Have you tried that?

We wanted a platform-independent fix.
