How could an executable not be architecture-specific? I must be missing something. I meant if a 64-bit library (/usr/lib64/libfoo) can use a 32-bit helper application (/usr/lib/foo/libexec/bar). Or to put it simply: where should the 64-bit helper be installed: /usr/lib or /usr/lib64? Since this appears to be a linux-specific question, the lsb-disc...@lists.linux-foundation.org<mailto:lsb-disc...@lists.linux-foundation.org> mailing list might be the right place to ask that question. I think there was some discussion on there earlier this year about what should be done around multi-arch in the LSB, so it would seem wise for Qt to be on the same page with the LSB spec and development of upcoming versions. Perhaps iyou could post your question there with some more context - they should be able to recommend the right approach. PS: The LSB guys recently took on discussion of the FHS too with a view to updating it, so now is a good time to be talking to them about issues like this. -- Dr Craig Scott Computational Software Engineering Team Leader, CSIRO (CMIS) Melbourne, Australia _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list Qt5-feedback@qt.nokia.com http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
