Compiling i686 packages on x86_64 system
Is this section correct? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Arch64.3F
I think that you can't just change the settings in makepkg.conf, since all libs in the system are 64bit...

Re: Compiling i686 packages on x86_64 system
I haven't tried it but it explicitly says you have to install the multilib (i.e. 32 bit) dev packages first...

Re: Compiling i686 packages on x86_64 system
Install devtools and use extra-i686-build instead of makepkg. This will setup a chroot and build in it automatically. (You can also build for testing using testing-i686-build etc.)

Re: Compiling i686 packages on x86_64 system
@stqn: Even if you install the multilib compiler and the other suggested packages, you'll need to have the 32-bit versions of all required libraries installed, what is impracticable.
@Pierre: I'll try it... thanks.

Re: Compiling i686 packages on x86_64 system
Is there a way of creating an i686-chroot with mkarchroot on a x86_64 system ?
I'm using extra-i686-build and compiling each package for i686 with sudo extra-i686-build -r ~/misc/dev/arch/i686-chroot/ (pointing always to the same chroot directory). I think that this is the way to go... or am I wrong?
Thanks.
