Description Dennis Schridde 2011-07-29 09:28:46 UTC

Attached patch allows to build net-libs/nativebiginteger-0.6.4-r3 on non-x86 architectures.

The problem there is that jcpuid is only available for x86, but NativeBigInteger tries to install it unconditionally. The patch removes the failing "install" lines from the makefile using sed if a non-x86 arch is detected.

This also adds KEYWORDS=~ia64, since that is the arch I tested this with.

Reproducible: Always

You can use the latest version of nativebiginteger, so i wont change older versions for this.
If you want an additional keyword, you will have to open a keywording request for the ebuild (and dependencies).
