Description Forgotten User OS1JNCFbCX 2005-09-09 07:25:39 UTC

/usr/bin/build has some fallback architectures for ia32 architecture like this:

case $BUILD_ARCH in
i686) BUILD_ARCH="i686:i586:i486:i386" ;;
i586) BUILD_ARCH="i586:i486:i386" ;;
i486) BUILD_ARCH="i486:i386" ;;
esac

Shouldn't one case like

x86_64) BUILD_ARCH="x86_64:i686:i586:i486:i386" ;;

be added or how is /usr/bin/build expected to build packages like db-java that
require 32bit-only packages like Java to build?

Hmm, you're probably right. Let's see if I can get the change into the package 
so close to the master...

Comment 2 Forgotten User OS1JNCFbCX 2005-09-12 09:05:27 UTC

Even if you couldn't, a fix for future releases might be appropriate.

Comment 3 Michael Schröder 2005-09-12 09:12:59 UTC

Yes. Fixed package submitted...
