Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2017-04-25 06:56:48 UTC
As mentioned in bug 616544, systemd is moving to meson. We will need to figure out how to handle multilib builds using meson/ninja.

The simplest solution would be to build everything twice, but maybe we can do better than that.

Doesn't the most awesome build system since the last most awesome build system solving all the problems humanity didn't even think of having... doesn't it support building and installing  targets separately?

Building yes. Installing, no.

I posted an enhancement request upstream.

I'm working on an eclass to handle meson builds on bug #597182.
Can I do something in the eclass to make handling multilib easier?

Not really. Just make sure the eclass functions may be called from multilib-minimal phase functions. You would have to do something really weird to break that.

This is actually a meson issue, so I am correcting the assignee.
