 There are two issues to note before you try and use build_arch:
- - many ports ignore the {{{-arch}}} flag to select the architecture, and will most likely fail to build at all
- - you must set build_arch prior to building any ports (must be done on a new, clean install), otherwise you will have major issues due to some ports being of one architecture, and some the other.
+ - many ports ignore the {{{-arch}}} flag to select the architecture, and will most likely fail to build at all (if you encounter such a problem, please file a ticket so it can be fixed)
+ - you must set build_arch prior to building any ports (must be done on a new, clean install), otherwise you will have major issues due to some ports being of one architecture, and some the other (if you want to switch architectures and have already installed ports, you can uninstall all ports with "`sudo port -f uninstall installed`" and then reinstall ports, or consult the [wiki:Migration Migration] document for an automated script)
