+Description: Fix arch-dependence issues
+ lxqt-menu-data is arch-independent, however the main CMakeLists.txt file
+ is configured improperly and is generating an arch-dependent config file.
+ This is causing build failures for users of lxqt-menu-data on 32-bit arches
+ like armhf. Fix the configuration issue.
