lib64 support
0%
Description
Main SConstruct has
env['plugin_dir'] = env['prefix'] + '/lib/dolphin-emu'
But on most (all but Debian based?) x86-64 Linux systems such files go to /usr/lib64/dolphin-emu. There is no good way to autodetect it, autoconf uses "--libdir"... no idea about the normal way with scons.

I am thinking about making options with scons to make all of the global paths configurable much like autoconf does.
Yeah, on Debian based systems (well, Ubuntu at least) /usr/lib64 is just a link to /usr/lib.

to solve that specific problem all you need to do is
check on 64bit systems if /usr/lib64 exist if so use it if not use /usr/lib
we already have so many scons options this is getting real messy:/

nakeee: Dolphin currently has twenty options. That is really not very many options at all compared to the number of options that many programs have in their build systems. Also, a proper build system should always have things like the lib dir, binary dir, and data dir configurable.

On Fedora, /usr/lib64 is an actual directory... /usr/lib is for 32 bit only.
Note that this should be autodetectable, but I don't know how to do it with scons.
Ideally, this will be fixed if/when we switch to CMake. Because CMake is awesome.

I have always been told that the autodetection isn't possible, citing "exotic" systems (Solaris/SPARC, etc.) I have never used. If it works in openSUSE to me it's ok whatever you do, but...
About CMake, It's my understanding that most projects use LIB_SUFFIX. But that seems to be a de facto standard started by KDE, nothing official supported by CMake. It is CMakeFile.txt-dependent and some projects use another variable or fail to support lib64 at all.

it's not autodetected, but it can be adjusted with some option iirc.

The option is -DLIB_SUFFIX=64. Autodetection can be done but will never be 100% reliable.

This issue is no longer valid with the removal of the plugins.
