How does PA interact with multilib? Do we need the 32-bit modules? I would suspect it's enough to have them in native ABI for the server.

[Comment 2 Arun Raghavan (RETIRED) 2013-10-20 10:20:14 UTC]

Correct, the server, modules etc. need only be in native ABI. libpulse, libpulse-simple, etc. are the bits that need multilib attention.

sbc & openssl seem to be used by modules only.

First attempt at multilib pulse

This is my first version, not yet complete:

1. dbus needs to be converted first,

2. we may need to disable some more configure checks,

3. we need to test if it doesn't try to use more 32-bit libs.

Good news, everyone! This is getting my top priority since the current binary version links against old libgdbm in baselibs. Therefore, this blocks baselibs revbump.

v2

This one's got all the configure checks right, and added the emul-linux blocker. Can be considered the final version, I think.

Oh, committed already and bumped emul-linux. Enjoy.
