Once again,not sure of this is LFS-dev related, so wanted to ask, for future
reference,
are "Multilib patch:" discussions mre suited to another LFS list than lfs-dev:
maybe they are a good fit for CLFS ?
Anyroad, just came to do Chapter 6 ncurses after applying Thomas's patch
(note also I am doing a PkgUser build) and saw
** Configuration summary for NCURSES 6.1 20180127:
extended funcs: yes
xterm terminfo: xterm-new
bin directory: /usr/bin
lib directory: /usr/lib
include directory: /usr/include
man directory: /usr/share/man
terminfo directory: /usr/share/terminfo
pkg-config directory: /usr/lib32/pkgconfig
and was surprised by the 32-bit Pkg-conf dir.
Looking as the configure script suggests that, for a 64-bit `arch`
# If you don't like using the default architecture, you have to
specify the
# intended library directory and corresponding compiler/linker options.
#
# This case allows for Debian's 2014-flavor of multiarch, along with the
# most common variations before that point. Some other
variants spell the
# directory differently, e.g., "pkg-config", and put it in
unusual places.
# pkg-config has always been poorly standardized, which is ironic...
case x`(arch) 2>/dev/null` in
(*64)
cf_search_path="\
$cf_path/lib/*64-linux-gnu \
$cf_path/share \
$cf_path/lib64 \
$cf_path/lib32 \
$cf_path/lib"
;;
that configure will look at those paths to find the location in which to
install the Ncurses pkg-config files..
Looking at what my system has below /usr at this point in the build
pkg ncurses:ncurses-6.1> ls -o /usr/
total 40
drwxrwxr-t 2 root 4096 Mar 23 07:50 bin
drwxrwxr-t 34 root 4096 Mar 23 07:47 include
drwxrwxr-t 10 root 4096 Mar 23 07:50 lib
drwxrwxr-t 6 root 4096 Mar 23 07:48 lib32
drwxrwxr-t 4 root 4096 Mar 23 07:42 libexec
drwxrwxr-t 5 root 4096 Mar 23 07:48 libx32
drwxr-xr-x 8 root 4096 Mar 17 02:42 local
drwxrwxr-t 2 root 4096 Mar 17 12:07 sbin
drwxrwxr-t 15 root 4096 Mar 23 07:50 share
drwxr-xr-x 80 root 4096 Mar 17 04:20 src
then we see that there is no explicit
/usr/lib64
FWIW, at this point in the build I have somethig in all three of the 'arch'
pkgconfig directories, vis:
pkg ncurses:ncurses-6.1> ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig
isl.pc mpfr.pc readline.pc zlib.pc
pkg ncurses:ncurses-6.1> ls /usr/lib32/pkgconfig
readline.pc zlib.pc
pkg ncurses:ncurses-6.1> ls /usr/libx32/pkgconfig
readline.pc zlib.pc
and so I thimk that the ncurses configure search "falls through" to /usr/lib32
where it finds a directory named 'pkgconfig'
The suggestion in the Ncurses build is that one can explicitly specify the
pkg-config directory by using a flag to ./configure.
Maybe that's something Thomas needs to add to his patch ?
Open to any other suggestions though
Kevin
