So this package MUST be 32bit by design and "of course" building it on x86 is not relevant are the software intend to translate x86 binaries into something else 32 bit, little endian. So arm is really the only relevant architecture, unless you ignore what's the package is about. > "Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in bugzilla, > describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that This is fine for most packages that incidentally don't build for an architecture whereas they should do. The difference here is that this package is not "designed" to build on others architectures (specially not 64bit ones as it's described on the upstream project). For the very same reason that wine 64bit cannot translate 32bit windows executable and vis versa)... I hope that it's clear enough... The only issue remains that to translate x86 linux binaries for arm, there is a need to install some x86 dependencies on the host. And if using fedora packages, then there is a path clash to be expected. (as x86 and arm libraries are using the same /usr/lib/ path). So this package looks very complex to use on the fedora side. (unless using x86 binary with only a deps on libc++). I only expect to build a dedicated chroot with x86 libraries and libstdc++ replaced by box86... But that's so unusual that I don't expect this package to land in fedora officially, so unless one has a better idea, there is my copr... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
