I agree that we don't want an include32 - all that we need is the machine-dependent directory (i386, amd64, ...). > If you are cross building, you >really need a full cross building environment. The -m32 hacks we have >now are, as you describe, insufficient to the task... For building i386 executables in an amd64 world, we already have almost everything needed - the toolchain is present, the libraries are present, most of the headers are present. The only parts of the environment that aren't installed in default are the machine-dependent headers (and some glue to include the appropriate architecture). I'm not saying that installing the i386 headers will magically make '-m32' work but it's a necessary prerequisite. --=20 Peter Jeremy --wac7ysb48OaltWcw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkuLhkQACgkQ/opHv/APuIeKVACgp5gYt2lXnDDZsYfLdcUqOfnp 3tgAoI76+E4IKTrKCebECNk8q/D/pbY6 =UUdQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wac7ysb48OaltWcw--
