Re: 64 bits?

Have been working on it this weekend, and I have got to the point where it
tries to download the packages ,though it stops there, it seems that
SRC_PACKAGE it's not passed to the download script made by jhalfs (however,
the sources are source ), I solved it by setting that variable directly,
what worries me it's that its from jhalfs directly (and thus should work).
Also I couldn't pass BUILDDIR to jhalfs (I wanted to run it directly to try
how it works), I am supposed to set an environmental variable? (though, I
already tried that).
