Description Yuri Pankov 2006-01-27 02:50:02 UTC 
    Sony Playstation emulator, located in /usr/ports/emulator/linux-ePSXe is marked for i386 only, but runs pretty well on amd64 also (tested on Final Fantasy IX, Valkyrie Profile, etc.). Changing Makefile to be ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 amd64 makes for a successfull install on amd64. Also the following ports should be changed: emulators/linux-peops-softgpu, emulators/linux-peops-spu, emulators/linux-pete-mesagpu, emulators/linux-pete-xgl2gpu (last two are not tested due to lack of nvidia-driver for amd64).
    Some notes: at least linux_base-8 and linux-gtk have to be installed prior to this port installation, because when they are installed as dependency, they try to fetch amd64 rpms, which is obviously wrong. Also it should be mentioned that mounted linprocfs is required to run linux-ePSXe.

Fix:

I'll add amd64 to ONLY_FOR_ARCHS, but can you tell me: 

- why is linprocfs needed for you; it works fine without it here 
- how do you get amd64 rpms when linux_base-8 and linux-gtk are installed 
as dependencies, and i386 rpms otherwise

- Added amd64 to linux-ePSXe and the plugins 
- Added a note about linprocfs to linux-ePSXe 

Thanks!
