Bug#119583: mozart for amd64 using gcc-multilib

2008-07-08 Thread Kari Pahula
It wouldn't be pretty, but it should be possible to compile a 32-bit
version of Mozart for amd64 using gcc-multilib and/or g++-multilib.
That's what I did with smlnj, which only supports powerpc and i386.

IMHO having a package that users can install is preferrable over not
having a package at all, even if it wouldn't be the real thing.

Doing this is likely to necessiate some changes to the build system,
to force it use i386 as the build arch on amd64.  That and
Build-Depends: g++-multilib [amd64] should do the trick.  (Mozart's
written in C++?)

/me looks forward to seeing 1.4.0.  :-)

Thanks for the info. I would like to see this too and will look into it.

This doesn't look likely for lenny (please see my reply to bug #180811)
