How to force required 32bit library on spec file

dimasfs · 04-08-2010, 09:00 AM

Hi All,

is there a way to specify that I need a 32bit version of a certain library on the "Requires" line of a SPEC file?

Since my software contain (a lot of) binaries from other sources (not always RPM compatible) I had to do "AutoReqProv: No" so I can do it manually.

Is there a way to explicid say that I need the 32bit version of some library?

Code:

Prefix: /usr/local/%{name}-%{version}
BuildArch: noarch
Source: %{name}-%{version}-linux.zip
AutoReqProv: No 
Requires: ld-linux.so.2 libstdc++.so.5 libX11.so.6 libXpm.so.4 libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3.1)
BuildRequires: which findutils dos2unix
Buildroot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build

Thanks,
Dms

AFAIK no, but using 'gcc' with the "-m32" flag and 'rpmbuild' with the "--target=i586" flag might do the trick?

If that's your way of saying you're polluting RPM-based packages with non-RPM dependencies then that looks like a road to ruin to me.
