I am trying to package software whose build process (autotools based) |
2 |
depends on a variable "ABI" to determine (on x86 and amd64 arch at least) |
3 |
whether to build as 64 bit or 32 bit. If it is not set externally, the |
4 |
configure script sets it by inspecting the native pointer size of the C |
5 |
compiler, to either "64" or "32". |
6 |
|
7 |
Naturally, I thought the cleanest way for a package was to leave it |
8 |
unset and let configure choose the native value. But somehow it ends up |
9 |
with a setting "amd64" and then complains that it is not one of the |
10 |
expected values. I am stuck determining where that value comes from. |
11 |
Is it portage? If so, how to change or disable it? Is it safe to just |
12 |
do the following? |
13 |
|
14 |
ABI='' ./configure |
