Your library will be compiled to a binary blob and this binary blob is architecture dependant. You cannot run a ppc64 library on a i386 machine. This is also what makes the difference in the Architecture field in the debian/control file. There are two special values any and all. Whereas all means that the package runs on all architectures any means that the package must be compiled for each architecture, so there will be packages for all architectures. So yes, your library of course is architecture dependant and you cannot do anything about that (unless for instance using a byte code like java or python). Still it does not hurt, as it runs on all architectures (with a separate binary package for each architecture). Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
