Hello All,
It's time for my stupid question of the year. I just swapped over to an Athlon64 proc. I went to compile a src rpm and it bombs out. Now, rather than have anyone troubleshoot this and add noise to the list, I'm fairly certain what it's been answered before by someone. I tried google and never did see a true answer. what I do see is stuff about mozilla mostly and associated plugins. This isn't solving my problem.
Is there some linkage anyone can pass to me that tells me (not necessarily step by step) what options to pass to rpmbuild if I want to build a 32-bit app on the athlon64? I assumed it was --target i686 or somethin' similar but all of the options I've tried with target result in the same failure. Namely:
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
Or I get the following when passing no options to rpmbuild at all other than building the binary:
Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
I've already managed to build gaim 1.5.0 (as a test) and it builds and installs fine. So I'm confuzzled. I'm sure it's something hugenormously ignorant and dumb on my part. Englighten me please.
CentOS-4 (current on all updates)
Sincerely,
Alex White
