Re: About libdir for 64-bit

They do something more complicated (they have to). So basically it's out of scope for what my macro is trying to solve (and what the original question asked for, also). i don't think it is. you're trying to guess the default multilib dir. x32 is another x86 related multilib (it installs into libx32 ... not complicate at all). the mips example isn't limited to IRIX; Linux supports them too. also assuming how the system has configured things based purely on tuples is a good way to fail. asking the compiler (gcc) for its multilib OS path is the closest atm to reliably getting the right answer. -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf

In particular, it works for the common cases of -m32 and -m64 on hosts with both library paths. How does that distinguish x32 and i386? Or the n32 and o32 formats on IRIX?

I'done it in order to make easy the install of package and choose the libdir according to arch. But I've found that I can't override if I run ./configure llibdir=/whatever and even distros like Debian put libraries in /usr/lib//x86_64-linux-gnu is there a way to fix it? I couldn't propose anything. Is there even a method to reliably infer the ABI from the compiler?
