Introduction to Pacman
pacman is a utility which manages software packages in Linux. It uses simple compressed files as a package format, and maintains a text-based package database, just in case some hand tweaking is necessary. This is the package management system used by Arch Linux.

Configuring
See the following webpages for instructions to work with the main portions of pacman

Arch Linux is not a standards compliant multilib operating system. If you will be using pacman to create your own, local repositories (e.g., to use with your CLFS cluster) on a multilib platform, replace this section in /etc/makepkg.conf:
#-- Exclusive: will only run on x86-64 # -mtune builds exclusively for an architecture # -mcpu optimizes for an architecture, but builds for the whole processor family CFLAGS="-march=x86_64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=x86_64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"
with the following:
#-- Exclusive: will only run on x86-64 # -mtune builds exclusively for an architecture # -mcpu optimizes for an architecture, but builds for the whole processor family if [ "$USE_ARCH" = "32" ]; then CARCH="$CARCH-32" CFLAGS="${BUILD32}" CXXFLAGS="${BUILD32}" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" elif [ "$USE_ARCH" = "n32" ]; then CARCH="$CARCH-N32" CFLAGS="${BUILDN32}" CXXFLAGS="${BUILDN32}" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" elif [ "$USE_ARCH" = "64" ]; then CARCH="$CARCH-64" CFLAGS="${BUILD64}" CXXFLAGS="${BUILD64}" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" else echo "Unknown or unsupported architecture: $USE_ARCH" echo "Exiting!" exit 1 fi
Based on minimal testing to date on an x86_64 multilib CLFS system, using the USE_ARCH environment variable will build the appropriate ABI package. You will need to create separate repositories for the 32-bit and 64-bit packages. The packages will have 32, N32, or 64 inserted in the package name so you will be able to tell them apart.
