Hi, There's one package I'd like to build in the ports tree that is 32-bit only, but I'm running the 64-bit version of FreeBSD powerpc on my old imac g5. If I go to the port's directory and just do 'make install' it naturally comes up with the error - 'This package is for i386 only, you are running powerpc64'. Interestingly, this program and it's dependencies - OLVWM/Xview, etc - definitely are available for PowerPC 32 elsewhere, so I'm not sure about the 'i386' part of that message. I assume I could run a 32-bit powerpc binary because the 'choosing 32 or 64-bit powerpc' part of the wiki says so. Is there some way I could tell the ports system to build this for powerpc32 this one time? Or, failing that, grab a binary from elsewhere and install it with pkg_add or similar? I think I could find a NetBSD .tgz package for it, but would that work? Kevin.
