Bug 36335

Summary:	Build fails on 32 bit chroots (set_soenv disregards configure --build)

Description Pablo Duboue 2011-04-17 22:26:55 UTC

The configure script of LibO takes the usual arguments for specifying host environment, but the actual values are set through perl's $^O and config.guess (which in turns uses uname -m and others).

This behavior seems wrong, as it is ignoring the configure options altogether. Moreover, it makes it impossible to build in a 32-bit chroot running in a x86-64 machine.

I can contribute a fix (I would imagine it will have to be in set_soenv) if anybody can comment on what would it be the appropriate steps to follow (in accordance to LibO's multi-platform building system).

Best regards,

P.

Can you ask this on the developer mailing list (if you haven't already)?

Will do, thanks.

Sorry for the delay updating here.
It got resolved on the mailing list, I wasn't setting up my own chroot correctly.
Sorry about the noise.
