It's up to you which variant to run. You can run i386 code on FreeBSD/amd64 but there are some tricks to get it to work if you need non-base libraries. >works on the corporate level, but that left a number of things I use >stranded as > >ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3D i386 > >among them graphics/zgv. Normally "ONLY_FOR_ARCHS" implies that the port relies on a binary blob or includes CPU-specific code so it won't (can't) build on any other architecture. In the case of graphics/zgv, there's no reason given. It's possible that's an error on the part of the original submitter. >Because I am a life-on-the-edge I have discovered that some of them actual= ly >will compile and run on this machine, and in particular that once I subver= ted >the ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3D graphics/zgv got recompiled and reinstalled during t= he >PNG bump which we are all having fun with right now. > >So have I armed a ticking time bomb that will somehow blow up an orphanage >somewhere down the road? That depends why it was marked "ONLY_FOR_ARCHS" but if it builds and runs then it'll probably be OK. --=20 Peter Jeremy --GyRA7555PLgSTuth Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/J4sEACgkQ/opHv/APuIcjjQCeK40Hb5IBwotYerCzwQ5eGJ4v a6YAnRisJVsLGazm7sVtlJ4OzoV/5cGy =PN0J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GyRA7555PLgSTuth--
