It is enough to have only one makefile which builds for x86 and x86_64 bit platforms. Hardcoding paths to libraries should be avoided, and pkg-config should be used instead.

Created attachment 210714 [details] A better patch Support for cross-compilation is there, but it requires explictly setting a variable before running the script.
Created attachment 210727 [details] Even better patch
Explanation of the patch: (1) Dropped dependency to deprecated libraries which are no longer a must, and are removed from some linux distributions (f.e. Orbit-2). (2) Direct references to libraries INCLUDE = -I/usr/include/gconf/2/ -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0/ -I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/ LIBS := -lgconf-2 -lORBit-2 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 are now replaced with pkg-config, which queries system for the location of those libraries. (3) Build for both architectures is unified. Previously there were two build files for x86_64 and x86. Right now the build file builds for the architecture on which it is run unless a flag ${TARGET_ENVIRONMENT} is set. if the target environment is set (f.e. by calling export TARGET_ENVIRONMET=-m32 before launching the makefile) the crosscompilation will happen. The scripts are proven to build in fedora build system: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3778062

I was able to successfully build the native library on f17 x86_64 using the commit 325126585d2b6de9bdaa09ac3885092b32c99628.
