I'm having a heck of a time trying to get glib and gtk to compile nicely
for the amd64. The configure script keeps on finding the binaries in
/usr/bin and using them to make decisions, ones that aren't always
correct... you see, I have to cater to two platform needs, one is the
323 bit one that you're all very familiar with, but the other one needs
-m64, and isn't really very compatible withthe -m32 bit mode.
The use of binaries in /usr/bin is confusing me more, I need someone to
lay out the playing field in 2 different ways: one, let me know, please,
how the binaries (glib-something in /usr/bin) figure in the
configuration) and what the right set of switches is in configure to get
me *both* of the two modes I need to cater to.
You see, I tried using "env CFLAGS=-m64 configure
--libdir=/usr/local/lib64" but it fails, telliiimg me that the gcc can't
create executeables. That was for the 64 bit stuff. For the 32 bit
stuff, it's bringing in /usr/X11R6/lib64, which is completely wrong for
the 32 bit mode.
Ahh, I'm losing my mind over autoconf. Just tell me if there's a
"magic" phrase I should be using for the x86_64.
BTW, word to the wise: on many older packages, I can get them to work
by copying the config.sub and config.guess from the latest autoconf
(which knows the x86_64 well enough, especially after I hacked it just a
bit more that way).
