Subject: [9fans] Building P9P for multiple architectures from the same
	source tree?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 1f08152e-ead3-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Is it possible to build P9P for multiple architectures (e.g. linux i386 and amd64) in the same tree?  I looked at the documentation but didn't see anything.

In my work environment I can't install in /usr/local/plan9 because I don't control the machines, so I install in my (NFS mounted) home directory.  This has worked fine up until now because all the machines are running i386 linux.  Unfortunately, we are now starting to have some machines running amd64 linux, so I need to build an amd64 version of P9P.  I would like to avoid having two complete copies of the tree if possible.

Does anybody have any suggestions.

    thanks,
    Peter Canning
PS: I imagine I could solve this nicely with namespaces if I was running real plan9.
