Description xlinuks 2009-03-31 17:40:10 UTC 
I'm running NetBeans 6.5.1 on Linux x64 (Ubuntu 9.04) and NetBeans uses the 'x86' label in GUI labels and build paths
regardless of the actual target architecture (x86 seems to be hand-coded into NetBeans).
In this case this feature (displaying the target arch) doesn't do anything but confuse users.
Thus I suggest either making NetBeans somehow detect what target arch is actually being compiled for or let the user
specify the target arch (say from a drop-down menu, there _is_ a drop-down menu btw but it's disabled displaying the
greyed "x86" option).

It should have been fixed now. The 'Platform' property is now folded into the Host property and it should now reflect the actual platform the project is bening 
build on.

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 100326-unknown-revn)
Java: 1.6.0_18; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 14.0-b16
System: Linux version 2.6.32-21-generic running on amd64; ANSI_X3.4-1968; en_US (nb)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but... Bug affects me too. It's creating GNU-Linux-x86 folder, not GNU-Linux-x86_64 as I need! Bug is not critical, but it's very annoying.
Comment 3 Thomas Preisler 2010-05-06 20:07:18 UTC 
so you want GNU-Linux-x86_32 or GNU-Linux-x86_64 depending on actual architecture?
Comment 4 soldatov 2010-05-06 20:16:03 UTC 
Can you explain "it's very annoying."? For example I don't want to see SunStudio-Solaris-x86_32 or SunStudio-Solaris-x86_64.
Comment 5 Void-995 2010-05-07 11:16:49 UTC 
I mean folder must be named "GNU-Linux-x86" on 32 bit host, and "GNU-Linux-x86_64" on 64 bit host, that's all...
Comment 6 Alexander Pepin 2010-10-27 14:53:46 UTC 
it's not a P3.
