Re: SPEC: How to specify package ARCH for REQUIRES?

[Christian Rohrmeier SCHERING DE]

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion.

Would this then work???

Requires: make, gcc, gcc-c++, libstdc++.so.5()(32bit),
libstdc++.a()(64bit), libstdc++.so.5()(64bit), libresolv.so()(64bit),
libc.so.6()(32bit), libgnome.so.32()(32bit),

I used rpm -ql to pull out arbitrary libraries from the packages I want,
and specified those instead. I haven't tried to build the RPM yet (still
looking at file lists with rpm -ql.) I have to say though, that this is an
extremely tedious way to specify which dependencies I want in an RPM!!

-Christian

For most cases in packages library requirements are picked up
automatically and marked correctly:

eg:

libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6()(64bit)

Require the library provides from said package in your virtual package,
as if they'd been created automatically using the (64bit) style eg:

Requires: libstdc++.so.6()(64bit)
Requires: libstdc++.so.6

For gcc you could do:

Requires: /usr/bin/x86_64-redhat-linux-gcc

Yes Requires has no ".arch" concept.  Library and file requires will get
you where you need to be.
