I'm following the guide available at this URL: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_Install_bundled_32bit_system Currently I'm stuck on this step: [root@archpc ~]# pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S base base-devel error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid) :: package kernel26-i915-2.6.34.1-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture I'm wondering how I should go about getting this chroot working. I'll be using the chroot to compile wine, I was unable to get it working with gcc-multilib. Thanks.

Thanks.

Why don't you use the devtools to create and use the chroot for packaging? It'll help you a lot: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot Thorsten -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4

There's the line "Architecture = auto" in the new pacman.conf, maybe you can specify i686 here. On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 3:52 PM, Jordan Windsor wrote:

How would I use mkarchroot to create a 32bit chroot under a 64bit system? Thanks.

that would work only if you have the new syntax in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist containing $arch -- Ionuț

How does mkarchroot & makechrootpkg differ from the non devtools route? (Kinda new to chroots) Also if I set up a system with mkarchroot should I chroot into it or should I use another method? Thanks

You pacman.d/mirrorlist uses x86_64 instead of $arch. Allan
