It is MUCH easier if you can compile on an x86_64 machine ... maybe in a chroot Not building on an x86_64 machine will cause issues with some SRPMS that look at RPM variables. It is certainly possible to build a cross compiler tool chain that will compile "C" files .. but harder to get it to work with rpmbuild :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
