[SOLVED] Alternate depends for i686 and x86_64

How would one go about listing alternate dependencies for i686 and x86_64? For example, a program requires java-environment and sh on both environments, but when installed on x86_64 also requires lib32-glibc to run, how could that be specified in the depends() array? I've tried:

if [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then
depends=('sh' 'java-environment')
elif [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
depends=('sh' 'lib32-glibc' 'java-environment')
fi

but that doesn't seem to work, as my i686 installation does not have lib32-glibc installed. Adding 'glibc' to the first depends array doesn't work either.

Try

if [[ $CARCH == "i686" ]]; then
depends=('sh' 'java-environment')
elif [[ $CARCH == "x86_64" ]]; then
depends=('sh' 'lib32-glibc' 'java-environment')
fi

depends=('sh' 'java-environment')
[[ $CARCH == "x86_64" ]] && depends=("${depends[@]}" ''lib32-glibc')

sounds more clean

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
