Description Mark Chandler 2009-05-04 01:32:51 UTC

We run a gentoo amd64 server in secure mode (only allows signed portage packages to run) and we are running into an issue with boost. We have a 32bit app that depends on 32bit boost however there is no install option via portage to build/install boost as 32bit as it always defaults to 64.

Can a 32bit build flag be added to the portage boost library?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install boost via portage
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Boost installs as 64bit only

Expected Results:  
Should be able to build boost as 32bit

@amd64: What about creating an app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-boost package?

To get a native multilib build might be a bit tricky. It also needs the dependencies to be multilib aware.
