[SOLVED] Package for different architectures

Faerbit · 2014-02-01 14:49:24

Hi everybody,

I like to package two binaries, one for 64 and one for 32 bit.
How should I handle this?
Initially I though about creating two seperate packages, but since the AUR doesn't allow two packages with the same name and just different architectures this doesn't work.
Should I include both binaries in the sources and just install the one which is needed?

Cheers,

Faerbit

If I understand you correctly, you want a PKGBUILD that supplies both i686 and x86_64 bins that are precompiled? See the mprime-bin PKGBUILD in the AUR for an example.

Thanks, that was really helpful.

I must say though the tools are not very helpful for this. Quite a few things I have to do manually.

What tools? PKGBUILDs should be written by hand.

Tools like updpkgsums or makepkg. Also I was unable to fake my architecture, and had to install arch32-light, but this could also be my stupidity.

Use clean-chroot-manager in the AUR... exactly why I wrote it.

Well after a bit of wrestling with my nobody user (I messed with him before on a unrelated notice) I got it working. You are once again very helpful. Thank you graysky.
