Building 32bit apps with pbuilder on amd64?

[xopher]

How can I build 32bit apps with pbuilder on amd64? Ive looked at some guides for debian, but if someone could explain it all to me more simple, Id really appreciate it.

I have a running amd64 pbuilder already, which works like a charm.

Thanks!

Yup. I've just recently set one up, although that was during Edgy testing (so it might be easier for you ).

Basically, the single command you want is

sudo pbuilder create --distribution edgy --debootstrapopts --arch=i386 any other options

That (eventually) worked for me (Debootstrap had problems downloading all the i386 packages, I don't know why).

Thanks! Ive stumbled upon that cmd a few times, but nice making sure!

Edit; well, having some problems, I guess its my pbuilderrc not being as it should. Could you post yours?

This is mine:

## Overrides /etc/pbuilderrc

# Default distribution
DISTRIBUTION=edgy
COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"

# Repositories
MIRRORSITE=http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
OTHERMIRROR="deb ${MIRRORSITE} ${DISTRIBUTION}-updates ${COMPONENTS}|deb ${MIRRORSITE} ${DISTRIBUTION}-security ${COMPONENTS}"
#OTHERMIRROR="deb ${MIRRORSITE} ${DISTRIBUTION}-updates ${COMPONENTS}|deb ${MIRRORSITE} ${DISTRIBUTION}-security ${COMPONENTS}"

# For build results

BUILDRESULT=${HOME}/pbuilder/edgy32/result

# Hooks for chroot environment
HOOKDIR=${HOME}/pbuilder/edgy32/hook.d

# Mount directories inside chroot environment
BINDMOUNTS=${BUILDRESULT}

# Bash prompt inside pbuilder
export debian_chroot="pbuild$$"

# For D70results hook
export LOCALREPO=${BUILDRESULT}

# Always include source package
DEBBUILDOPTS="-sa"

Oh, and this is the error Im getting:

sudo pbuilder32 create --debootstrapopts --arch=i386
W: Build-result Directory /home/xopher/pbuilder/pbuilder32/result does not exist
Distribution is edgy.

And here's my pbuilder32,

Allright, seems like this longsome monolog is getting to an end;

StevenK xopher: Right, it's pbuilder. --debootstrapopts --arch=i386 won't work, but --debootstrapopts --arch --debootstrapopts i386 will.

creating the base.tgz atm, hope it will work allright

Thanks all!
