Sorry Michael, but I don't understand where is the problem gpsim.i386 and gpsim.x86_64 cannot be installed in parallel, because these "Makefile"s create file conflicts. That is, their checksums differ between i386 and x86_64 rpms. [multi-lib is the concept that makes it possible to install libraries built for a compatible hardware architecture alongside the libraries for the native hardware, because both can used by corresponding executables. For example, on x86_64 the native libs are installed into /usr/lib64, while the compatible ix86 libs are installed into /usr/lib. That is the reason why %_libdir expands to different values on these systems. This also makes it possible to build ix86 binaries on a x86_64 systems, because you only need to tell the compiler which architecture to build for and install the needed -devel packages for that architecture. Due to that, ix86 -devel rpms and their dependencies are made available in the x86_64 repository. In the context of this ticket, users of x86_64 hardware, who want to or need to install gpsim for i386 (as a dependency of some i386 rpms), could not have gpsim for x86_64 installed already, since both packages conflict in these files.] These Makefile are created at rpm build time. So their checksums differ between i386 and x86_64 rpms. And I don't know how to fix this problem. Any idea? Remove them? They are useless anyway, because they depend on a various autotools stuff that is only available at build-time. Btw, some of the examples come with makefiles, which don't work either. Humm, I forgot to close it, fixed since 2 weeks. |
