Description Elfenbein, Karsten 2011-06-09 11:21:01 UTC
Please add multilib support so it can also be used with 32 bit apps on x86_64.
Comment 1 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2011-06-10 06:53:10 UTC
This would be useful and I think we'd only need multiple versions of the glxtrace.so library. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience writing multilib ebuilds (especially for projects using cmake) so it will probably take a bit of time for me to come up with something that isn't too hackish.

Patches accepted of course. :)

Actually, let me clarify that. It's relatively easy to rebuild the whole project for multiple ABIs, but it will probably be hard to just build a specific part without hacking the cmake script.

Only rebuilding specific pieces rather than the while project will let it require fewer 32bit deps, but I might just have it rebuild the whole project for now since it's the easy fix and most multilib users probably have the required 32bit libs installed.
Comment 3 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2011-06-10 10:37:44 UTC
I managed to craft a decent patch to cmake that only builds the glxtrace library for the non-native ABIs. Give the new revision in the tree that supports multilib a try. :)

Let me know if you have any problems.
