Installing SlackBuilds on x86_64
by rzdndr from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6ETQD)
Hello All,
I am using Slackware 15.0 x86_64.
I am installing slackbuild packages from slackbuilds.org. I realized that there is also a DOWNLOAD_x86_64 property/variable/parameter (whatever you call it) in the info file, which I think has links to the 64 bit sources.
I was downloading the sources from the DOWNLOAD parameter in the info file. Not paying attention to the other DOWNLOAD_x86_64 parameter. Since my system is a 64 bit system, should I be installing the source files from the DOWNLOAD_x86_64 parameter?
Or if both DOWNLOAD and DOWNLOAD_x86_64 parameters are given, based on my system which sources should I choose to download, to install the slackbuild?
Choose DOWNLOAD_x86_64 since my system is x86_64, if there are sources for it, else choose the sources in the DOWNLOAD parameter, when DOWNLOAD_x86_64 is empty?
Regards
