Description Drew Parsons 2005-03-24 21:42:13 UTC 
A debian porter for amd64 reports (Debian bug #301028):
- amd64 and ppc64 use -L/usr/X11R6/lib not -L/usr/X11R6/lib64
- there's an ExecCommand still remaining which needs to go.

He mentions failure with gcc4, but the patch he provides does not seem specific
to gcc4, unless it's the ExecCommand.

Comment 1 Drew Parsons 2005-03-24 22:38:11 UTC 
Note, the ExecCommand problem was addressed in Xprint bug #2254, but this new
bug refers to attributes.h, not attributes.c, i.e. the definition of
ExecCommand.  I think #2254 only cleared the reference in attributes.c.
Comment 2 Juergen Kreileder 2005-04-01 04:29:36 UTC 
Note that the 'lib' vs 'lib64' issue is Debian specific.  The AMD64 and PPC64
ABIs say that 'lib64' is the way to go.  Most distributions follow that and put
64-bit libs into 'lib64' dirs.  Debian/AMD64 and Debian/PPC64 violate the ABI in
this respect and put 64-bit libs into 'lib'.
Comment 3 Drew Parsons 2005-04-01 05:59:41 UTC 
Oh ok.  I'm surprised to hear it.  Normally Debian is good about following
standards. They must have decided the standards suck ;)

Thanks for letting me know. I guess that means this bug can be closed (apart
from the extra ExecCommand deletion).
Comment 4 Corbin Simpson 2011-09-13 15:48:11 UTC 
Closing WONTFIX because nobody cares about Xprint. Reopen if you plan to address this bug.
