Jack, Putting a line in your .info file which says
Type: -64bit should allow you to use the %lib expansion for precisely the purpose that you want. Notice that this type declaration does not need to have any other effect on the package: it won't affect the name or anything else. Is there some other problem with this procedure which I am not seeing? (As an alternative, one can create separate .info files for the powerpc and i386 architectures, which differ only in the appropriate Shlibs line.) -- Dave On Jan 16, 2007, at 7:54 AM, Jack Howarth wrote: > We are currently at a standstill with the gcc42 > release until I can resolve moving the 64-bit gcc > libraries properly into the gcc42-shlibs package. > I believe we currently don't have the proper tools > in fink to achieve this.
