Bug 97416 – Jam does not define OSPLAT on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kamil Burzynski 2005-06-29 13:03:35 UTC]

When invoking jam on amd64, it does not export $(OSPLAT) variable at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke Jam on c/c++ code, whose Jamfile contains $(OSPLAT) e.g. DEFINES = a
foo_$(OSPLAT) b ;



Actual Results:  
C/C++ code will be compiled with -Da -Db, not with -Da -DAMD64 -Db

Expected Results:  
OSPLAT should be defined to AMD64 or at least X86_64

Handbrake tool (http://handbrake.m0k.org/index.php) uses OSPLAT.

Created attachment 62433 [details, diff]
jam-2.5-amd64.patch

This defines OSPLAT to AMD64 when Jam is compiled on AMD64. Ebuild for jam
should contain the line:

epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-amd64.patch

in src_unpack()

The patch is working - now OSPLAT is defined as AMD64 correctly.

Thanks for the path.  Applied in portage, closing.
