One would expect then if I did a: MULTILIB_IMAGE_INSTALL += "lib64-perl" I would be a 64bit perl and a slew of 64 bit libraries installed. I'm still trying to figure out why this is not happening on my particular build. -M _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
