That's already there (added last summer): a virtual package called "64bit-cpu" which you may add to Depends or BuildDepends where appropriate. -- Dave On Nov 22, 2006, at 7:06 AM, Jack Howarth wrote: > David, >While you are adding this to fink, would it be possible > to use some MacOS

David, While you are adding this to fink, would it be possible to use some MacOS X system call to detect the presence of 64-bit support on the processor? I have thought it would be handy to have such a flag as available for checking in info scripts for such cases as a gcc42-64-bit package (which

A quick followup thought: if we add --libdir='${prefix}/%lib' to the % c defaults, then we should introduce a NoSetLibdir command to disable that when necessary. -- Dave On Nov 18, 2006, at 8:43 AM, David R. Morrison wrote: > Dear fink developers, > > I solicit your comments on the proposa

[Fink-devel] 64bit libraries and a new percent expansion

2006-11-18 Thread David R. Morrison
Dear fink developers, I solicit your comments on the proposals below to (1) change the storage location for 64bit libraries and formalize this into policy, and (2) add a new percent expansion to fink, one whose value would be dependent on some other things. The issue is the correct storage
