[pacman-dev] x86_64 experiences

[Andreas Radke]

Here are the changes I had to add to the latest PKGBUILD (12022007) to
make it build the way I want to have it:

  sed -i "s|k8|x86_64|g" configure.ac
  sed -i "s|i686|x86_64|g" etc/pacman.conf.in

before
  ./autogen.sh

and at the end of the build section:

sed -i 21d $startdir/pkg/etc/makepkg3.conf
sed -i 23,25d $startdir/pkg/etc/makepkg3.conf

sed -i "s|CURRENT|CURRENT-64|g" $startdir/pkg/etc/abs3/supfile.arch
sed -i "s|CURRENT|CURRENT-64|g" $startdir/pkg/etc/abs3/supfile.extra
sed -i "s|CURRENT|CURRENT-64|g" $startdir/pkg/etc/abs3/supfile.community
sed -i "s|TESTING|TESTING-64|g" $startdir/pkg/etc/abs3/supfile.testing
sed -i "s|CURRENT|CURRENT-64|g" $startdir/pkg/etc/abs3/supfile.unstable


Maybe we can do this in a better way. Especially the CARCH that goes
into /etc/makepkg.conf should not be autodetected in such a way.

I suggest to use a configure switch or a special export "wanted CARCH"
before the build starts and that should go into makepkg.conf

I guess you can easily fix those issues. Now to the bad part: Nothing
happens :(

How to debug that?

In other parts it works well.

btw: i don't like the localisation. can u add a switch in pacman.conf
to disable that behavior?
