For a distribution, it may be very convenient to provide only one set of images (configured for ix86), as these images will work both on 32 and 64 bit systems. The attached patch is supposed to fix this problem. 29025 1 laurentiu.palcu 2013-01-22 11:41:42 +0000 The fix looks OK. But I would like to see a warning message for those who install i686 SDK on a x86_64 host. Something like: "WARNING: The SDK is intended for 32 bit hosts. You're installing it on a 64 bit machine. Make sure you have the 32 bit libraries installed." At least we make sure people are not caught by suprise when their SDK tools and toolchain do not work on their machine. Also, I think you could send the patch directly to openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org Thanks 29031 2 wd 2013-01-22 12:29:36 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > The fix looks OK.

I have to admit that I don't like that idea - it just adds noise to the installation. There are a number of other software packages that come in 32 bit versions even on 64 bit systems, without warning about this. See for example Adobe Reader [1], which installs a 32 bit binary, not even asking if the host is 32 or 64 bit: -> file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped [1] ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.3/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.3-1_i486linux_enu.rpm Sometimes even packages explicitly labeled as 64 bit versions include 32 bit binaries - example: google-earth-stable-6.2.2.6613-0.x86_64 contains this file: -> file /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=0x7b9b6f926c9cce7276fe550a14bf7190bb71ee75, stripped I think we should keep the noise level low, too. > Also, I think you could send the patch directly to > openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org Done.
