GCC-4.5.2 - Pass 2 / unsetting the multilib spec for GCC

Hi,

If i'm not building on x86_64 computer, do i have to enter this command present on chapter 5.10.1

Code:

case $(uname -m) in

  x86_64)

    for file in $(find gcc/config -name t-linux64) ; do \

      cp -v $file{,.orig}

      sed '/MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES/d' $file.orig > $file

    done

  ;;

esac

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

All the commands need to be executed. There are some exceptions, but if this is the case it is mentioned specifically by the book.

If you take a look at the above code block you'll see that the cp and sed commands are only executed in a specific case (if the output of the uname -m command equals x86_64).

BTW: If you're level of expertise isn't high enough to be able to understand what a relative simple command block like the above does, you might be in for a rough ride. I can only point you to what is being said in the LFS documentation: vi. Prerequisites.

Hope this helps.
