Enable Multilib on Arch 64

binarydrummer · 2012-01-28 19:49:25

Hello,

I just need to install the android sdk and I need to enable the multilib repo first. I followed the instructions on the wiki but I get: target not found when: pacman -S gcc-multilib.

Any ideas? I synced mirrors and

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Thanks!

pacman -Syy

binarydrummer · 2012-01-28 19:52:04

nothing

bohoomil · 2012-01-28 19:56:57

When you type the above one, does it show (and update) all the mirrors, including multilib? What output do you get?

How do I check that? It only shows up core/extra/community

pacman -Syy

Well, just the usual way: what you can see in your terminal window.

Edit: Thx Kaustic for visual aid.

It doesn't

I have simply uncommented:

#[multilib]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and run sudo pacman -Syy, but it doesn't show up syncing..

Hey! Have you checked how we use repos in pacman.conf? :-|

Any tips?

Wrrrr... This hash, this HASH!

Not:

#[multilib]

but

[multilib]

...for all Archers' sake.

Argh.. ty!

Make as solved if it worked btw

binarydrummer · 2012-01-28 20:19:21

So when I'm done with android-sdk and need to revert to installing 64bit packages only again, just recomment multilib and makepkg.conf?

bohoomil · 2012-01-28 20:20:49

Don't. When you install packages from multilib, you'll need to update them using the same repo.

binarydrummer · 2012-01-28 20:25:05

ok, but how do I seperate them? I mean when I need to only install 64 or 32 binaries?

bohoomil · 2012-01-28 20:26:45

You don't have to. Your $ARCH is x86_64. Multilib simply means that you can use 32 bit routines alongside the 'mainline' 64. Simply leave it as it is: it's well devised and so it works.

binarydrummer · 2012-01-28 20:30:05

hm.. should I change something within yaourt as well? I get: package android-sdk-i686 does not have a valid arch.

bohoomil · 2012-01-28 20:42:54

If you are going to use this one, it should build fine. I can only recommend preparing the packaged manually, i.e. downloading the tarball, extracting and running makepkg -- and, where necessary, installing lib32-* dependencies. All that's lib32- sensitive is listed in the PKGBUILD as

[[ $CARCH = x86_64 ]] && depends=(blah blah)

McDoenerKing · 2012-01-28 21:16:06

If you run into compability issues with 32bit apps, setup a minimal 32bit Chroot (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sc … bit_System). This way may sound more complex, but once it's running you won't have to worry about 32bit apps. Just use an alias for starting the 32bit apps.
