Bug 106092 – linux-mod should set the proper kernel ARCH

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2005-09-15 12:15:14 UTC]

linux-mod_src_compile should pass an ARCH argument on make command line when it
builds the kernel modules (for instance, if the arch is x86, the emake command
line should contain ARCH=i386).

I use an amd64 machine to build binary packages (in a chrooted env) for several
server configurations using x86 architecture, which now fails to build the
kernel module of the media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 package.

Can you please try this eclass out and let me know if it works for you.
Please test in both the chrooted x86 env. and also the x86_64 host env.

Thanks

You've made a mistake. You should use tc-arch-kernel function, not tc-arch.

Given the above correction, the results of the tests are:
 - in chrooted x86 env, I have upgraded to media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 successfully
 - in normal amd64 env, I managed to merge net-dialup/eagle-usb successfully
(svgalib is masked by -*)

So I did :)

OK, I'll get these in tonight.
