I'm unsure whether you realize that app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* are |
| 20 |
special-case and I'm missing something obvious (like some indication that |
| 21 |
you're simply trying to shutup the warnings in this case), or whether |
| 22 |
it's you missing the obvious, but just in case it's the latter I'll risk |
| 23 |
publicly exposing the fact that I missed the former... =:^\ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The emul-linux-x86-* packages are pre-compiled 32-bit binaries there for |
| 26 |
the convenience of amd64 multilib users who don't wish to run the 32-bit |
| 27 |
chroot and separate 32-bit stage-based PM installation otherwise |
| 28 |
necessary (in the absence of true multi-arch package-manager support) in |
| 29 |
ordered to build the 32-bit libraries needed by some of their presumably |
| 30 |
proprietary 32-bit-binary-only apps. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
As such, they'll NEVER respect local CFLAGS, since they're not built |
| 33 |
locally. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Similarly, various so-name symlinks (plus headerfiles, *.pc files, etc) |
| 36 |
are omitted as they're only necessary when building reverse-deps, and |
| 37 |
these are binary-only packages not intended to be built against, and |
| 38 |
including these files would only increase the likelihood of conflict when |
| 39 |
trying to build against the 64-bit versions. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
As hinted above, to do the normal gentoo-ish build for the 32-bit version |
| 42 |
of these libs on a 64-bit system, you follow the amd64 32-bit chroot |
| 43 |
guide, installing a separately tracked and configured 32-bit x86 "stub |
| 44 |
system" from 32-bit stages, thus ensuring all the necessary 32-bit |
| 45 |
dependencies are available, etc, altho this 32-bit stub need not contain |
| 46 |
system services, etc, unless you want to actually be able to boot to it, |
| 47 |
since those are generally provided by the 64-bit side. Since that's a |
| 48 |
LOT of extra work for the set of basic 32-bit libs that's all many will |
| 49 |
use, the emul-linux-x86-* packages are available as a convenient (and |
| 50 |
default) alternative for those that prefer to use them. |
