Hello List,
This is my first mail to this list and i just started out with emacs... hope i
don't break any rules here ;)
However, since we just have the emacs22 pretest period, i thought i should
give it a try and went to build it on an archlinux 64bit system.
result: surprise, surprise, it won't build.
reason: there is no /usr/lib64 directory
backtrace:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/manveru/pkgbuilds/emacs-cvs/src/emacs/lisp'
(cd src; make -w bootstrap)
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/manveru/pkgbuilds/emacs-cvs/src/emacs/src'

Stop.

make[1]: *** [bootstrap-build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manveru/pkgbuilds/emacs-cvs/src/emacs'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
I was told that this directory (/usr/lib64) does not exist since Archlinux
follows the LFS and Archlinux64 the CLFS standards. The same seems to be the
case for FreeBSD.
From m/amsx86-64.h:
> The libraries for binaries native to the build host's architecture are
installed under /usr/lib in FreeBSD, and the ones that need special paths are
32-bit compatibility libraries (installed under /usr/lib32). To build a
native binary of Emacs on FreeBSD/amd64 we can just point to /usr/lib.
And because of that, emacs fails to compile since it cannot
find /usr/lib64/(crt1.o|crti.o)
I have no proposed solution apart from providing a different header with
different paths, but i guess you guys know how to figure that out (my C-fu is
rather weak)
Thanks for your help in advance.

Do other amdx86-64 distributions use /usr/lib64? If so, how do we
distinguish between the two cases?

Well, the simplest way i could come up with is to look if such a folder exists
at all simply doing this check after looking up `arch` returns a
64bit-system.
As far as i know quite some distributions use /usr/lib64 to use both 64bit and
32bit (in /usr/lib) libraries. However, distributions who do not support
32bit libs at all only use /usr/lib
this is the case (only as far as i know) for FreeBSD (sorry guys, of course
it's _no_ distribution ;), LFS (by default), Slackware (Slax), Archlinux and
Gentoo.
Some more might be out there, especially all that are based on the distros i
mentioned.
thanks again for looking into this.

Well, yes... and no. I wouldn't like this change for 64-bit FreeBSD
systems, for example (for the reason you explained below in:

Is there some way to uniquely identify Archlinux?
This could be even something like:
iff we are on a linux system and...
iff this is a 64-bit system and...
iff file /etc/archlinux-release exists then...
handle /usr/lib64 in a special manner

Does this completely untested patch give good results (you'll have to
regenerate configure to test it, of course)?

I just finished building an Emacs snapshot with these changes on FreeBSD
7.0-CURRENT. No obvious regressions can be seen, so it should be ok.

Alright, that did the trick!
Thank you _so_ much, i really hope this goes into the final release :)
If you have further things to try for me, just write, but this is definitly
the path to success.

I think this would be a case of the tail wagging the dog. There are over 100
GNU/Linux distributions and I don't think Emacs should have to test for each of
them. Aren't there some standards that the distributions conform to?

No, sadly. Host libraries are supposed to be put in /usr/lib, and not
/usr/lib64 if the host is 64-bit, so the best/simplest solution is
probably to not use /usr/lib64 at all, and mention in etc/PROBLEMS
that on 64-bit GNU/Linux systems that install 64-bit libraries in
/usr/lib64 (and 32-bit in /usr/lib) that one has to modify
m/amdx86-64.h or something along those lines.
Another way might be to use the output of `gcc -print-search-dirs',
and check in which directory crti.o exists in.
My two groszy.

Did you mean GNU/Linux only? Linux is not a system like FreeBSD,
it is just a kernel, and it isn't enough by itself to run Emacs on.

According to the OP,
As far as i know quite some distributions use /usr/lib64 to use
both 64bit and 32bit (in /usr/lib) libraries. However,
distributions who do not support 32bit libs at all only use
/usr/lib
The fix I suggested was to use /usr/lib64 if that directory exists,
and /usr/lib otherwise. Do you think it is not right?

If it works, I think it is right. I was under the impression that it
didn't work, and people were comming up with strange solutions that
would check what distribution of GNU/Linux was being used and pick the
directory that way.

No, that would be horrible. With dozens of GNU/Linux distributions out
there, it would bloat the checks unnecessarily. IMHO, the fix cyd@ has
suggested is much better than distribution-specific checks :)

Building currently fails on x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, which
uses a /usr/lib64 directory. I think you also need a change to
src/config.in like the one below.
PS I guess this whole issue will cause problems if people try to build
a 32-bit Emacs on a 64-bit system (eg with -"m32"), but I think that
already doesn't work for other reasons:

It seems I meant to say "need to regenerate src/config.in", sorry.
Maybe that should have happened automatically, although I was
bootstrapping and it did not.

Just to confirm (your message wasn't clear): does the compilation work
after this patch is applied?

Yes, it works after changing config.in. Sorry for being unclear. It's
just a case of checking in a regenerated src/config.in to make
everything consistent.
