How can I reliably (from a user-program) determine the
multiarch-triplet/quadlet without depending on dpkg-dev? I found some
talk of a lsb_architecture utility, but so far have found no trace of
it...
# gcc -print-multiarch
x86_64-linux-gnu
That's definitely better, but still not optimal since I don't want to
require gcc either ;-)
Not only suboptimal, but most likely also wrong. :)
The whole idea of multi-arch is that you can have packages of different
architectures installed on a single system. So there's no single
"DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH" you could query at run-time.
Perhaps if you explained what exactly you're trying to do, I could give
you a better answer. :)
p.s. Not subscribed.
