<TITLE>Fedora Core 1: X86-64 Failed compile package list</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Folks,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I tried to cross-compile all the Fedora Core 1 (yarrow) SRPMS on an amd64 machine running the i386 version of Fedora Core 1 (yarrow). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Out of 847 packages, a total of 89 packages failed to build (list attached as a.txt)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. 77 packages failed because the "amd64-redhat" target was not recognized. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Another 12 failed for other reasons (list attached as b.txt).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#000000"> <<a.txt>> </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#000000"> <<b.txt>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have stdout,stderr logs on each SRPM rpmbuild... (should any of this be logged in bugzilla?)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a couple ?s at this point:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. Am I doing this right? or should I try to compile the SRPMS on a box running an amd64 linux environment....? </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But this is sort of a chicken and an egg problem with Fedora, either that or a rather painful one to solve as you would have to incrementally build your amd64 environment while building packages. I tried to workaround this by compiling using amd64 versions of other linux distributions but lots of packages fail to build w/o using the --nodeps flag... and lots more packages fail regardless...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. How would one go about fixing packages exhibiting the first issue (unknown target: amd64)? Is it a matter of:</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. tweaking spec files</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. tweaking make files</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3. tweaking source-code </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4. combination of 1, 2, and 3? </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">5. ask/beg respective pacakage maintainers to fix? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
