Compiling 64bit packages under a normal 32 bit arch installation
Hello!
For making packages (e.g. custom kernels) I have a virtual arch installation 32 bit (vmware). After the package is compiled I copy it to the destination machine and install it.
At the moment I want to install my first 64 bit archlinux and I want to make a custom kernel for the system. Is it possible to get the 64 bit tree of arch linux and compile it for my 64 bit system under my 32 bit virtual machine?
Second question: Can I use the normal custom kernel script (wiki article: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … _with_ABS) for a 64 bit kernel?
Greetings,
Flasher

This shouldn`t work within a 32bit-system. But you can compile 32bit-stuff on a 64-bit machine (using a chroot environment).
