libzzip and i386 compile still links 64 bits.

[elebel@…]

Hi There,

I needed to compile libzzip with

sudo port -f install libzzip +universal

and got this error:

[...]

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

that package links by default 64 bits even tough every .o file were compile i386. To fix this I had to change every Makefiles and add -arch i386 to the linker flags when there and add the same thing to every other lines when the compiler linked something (line with a -o in it)....arrrggg....

This should be fix cause, now, since it compiled, all the makefiles I changed are gone...

I'm sure this probleme is in other relatively old package too...

libzzip is definitely unrelated. If anything, you appear to be having trouble building texlive_base.

What is build_arch set to in macports.conf? What about universal_archs? What kind of Mac is this exactly, what processor? I assume it's a 64-bit Intel processor?

You should not be in the habit of using the force ("-f") flag.
