lib64 not getting picked up

lib64 not getting picked up

[Kumar Gala]

I'm trying to build a powerpc 64-bit system and for some reason everything is still in /lib instead of /lib64.

I'd expect things in /lib64 based on how arch-powerpc64.inc has:

BASE_LIB_tune-powerpc64 = "lib64"

any ideas on what to look at for why this isn't happening?

BASE_LIB_tune-... appears only to be used by multilib.conf.  If you're
not doing a multilib build then it doesn't seem as though that variable
will have any useful effect.

From a quick perusal of the conf files it looks as though setting 

baselib = "lib64"

might be the appropriate thing to do if you really want to use /lib64
even though your architecture is natively 64-bit. 

If you _are_ using multilib then I guess you would need to instrument
that class a bit to see why it isn't doing the right thing.

in bitbake.conf try changing "baselib" to:

baselib = "${@d.getVar('BASE_LIB_tune-${DEFAULTTUNE}', True) or 'lib'}"

--Mark

FWIW, this is currently in multilib.conf so in non multilib configs, it
defaults to "lib" and in multilib, it defaults to the BASE_LIB settings.

If we want to use BASE_LIB in all cases its easy to change, I just felt
we could hold off on doing that for now, at least whilst we work through
some of the tune gremlins...
