No it can't be used. The problem is that if you put libusb-config in a different package, 'libusb-config --libs' built on amd64 will still output '-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lusb' when run on i386. This would be wrong. > [1]. Could that apply in case of libusb (also libusbx 1.0.x)? This is the way to go, libusb 0.1 is deprecated and programs should start libusb 1.0 instead. libusb 1.0.x is using pkg-config, and thus can be converted easily to multiarch. In fact I have already done it for the next version, I am just waiting for it to be released (currently at rc2). -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
