Greetings I have been folowing clfs and cblfs recipes for the last 18 months. I use the AMD64 processor and I build clfs as pue 64 bit. Nowhere in the clfs recipe(s) is the creation of a /lib64 or /usr/lib64 or ~/whatever/lib64 I followed the non-multilib build recipe of cblfs. I compile with just ./configure/make/make install/ and I link /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib beleiving I have generated 64-bit executables and libraries.
This was until last night when I visited the cblfs site regarding insalling the nvidia binary-only linux driver (http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/NVIDIA) for nvidia GPU's and noticed they treat non-multilib as for x86 and have a separate recipe for pure 64-bit amd64. (I am about to start on another blfs/cblfs 64-bit build an I would like to know if their non-multilib recipes refer to true 64-bit builds for amd64-64-bit clfs setups or does one need ALWAYS to pass arguments such as USE_ARCH=64 CC="gcc $BUILD64" to configure scripts OR is this dependent on the program to be compiled. advice will be appreciated. lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
