[lfs-dev] Multilib patch

[Timothy Russo via lfs-dev]

Whatever happened to the multilib patch?  I was following the thread back
in August 2018:

On second thought, there is no purpose for the pc files in
/usr/lib32/pkgconfig, should just remove the directory if it exists.
Regardless of the libdir value in the pc file, the libraries themselves
will always be in the library search path because of our change to
/etc/ld.so.conf.

and then it seemed to die.

I've found this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/lfs-systemd-multilib/

from Nov 2018.

However, I'd love to help/test/edit an updated multilib patch to work
against the current 9.1 version of LFS/BLFS.

I was able to get my printer to work with multilib using these
outdated references, but I was only able to get steam to function with
a flatpak.

If DJ or Thomas would like to revisit the multilib patch or
lfs-systemd-multilib version of the book, I'd love to help.

Thanks,

Tim Russo

Hi Tim,

ML is still maintained - well, basically its a periodical merge of the
trunk to the branch and subsequently fixing clashes ;-)

You can find it at 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~thomas/multilib/index.html

and the sources are in a branch named 'multilib' in SVN. Feel free to
post patches/ideas/remarks!
