My test / development host runs CentOS-5.x x86_64. There I have successfully created an rpm for GiT-1.6.1-1 for x86_64. Now I would like to build the same rpm package for CentOS-5.x i386, but on the x86_64 machine.
Is this even possible? If so, are there any resources that someone can refer me too that explains how?
We do this sort of thing using the free VMware server with VMs for the appropriate 32-bit Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc. VMs are particularly useful in development as it is very easy to take a snapshot, experiment, and revert back to the snapshot if things go Horribly Wrong(tm).
