Common Build and Packaging Problems on x86_64 and how to solve them
- Pointer / int problems: on x86_64, pointers are long, not int. See bug 158646 for an example of how to solve this problem.
- 64bit libraries live under /usr/lib64: if you use "%configure; make ; %makeinstall", etc, you should be ok.
ToDo List (most of this normally should have a bug report in bugzilla assigned)
- mknbi: Should we copy the i386 one over to the x86_64 tree? Probably a x86_64 version is not very interesting; Someone who knows this stuff should llok into it.
- are there other i386 packages that might be interesting for the x86_64 tree?
