Some 32-bit packages in Arch64 repo

Can you include wine32 and flash into Arch64 repo? I understand that you must rebuild them with other deps (some 32-bit libs), but it will be cool and many Arch64 users says "tnx" for it

Check in [community] and AUR for packages. Arch64 doesn't support a mixed 32/64-bit environment officially.

Making 32-bit packages in Arch64

Hi Arch community,
I have successfully installed a 32-bit chroot in my Arch64 system.
When I download 32-bit PKGBUILDs from AUR, and run makepkg, it warns me that making packages as root can seriously damage my system.
Is there a good, safe way to build 32-bit packages on a 64-bit Arch system?
Thanks

Also, if you've set up the chroot according to the wiki you can just do "su [username]" inside the chroot to become a regular user inside the chroot.

This must be the weirdest error I've ever seen on Arch. Unless my system has 'upgraded' itself to a 64 bit one overnight.

How to cross compile 32bit packages on Arch64 via distcc?

Is there a way to cross compile 32 bit packages on Arch64 via distcc?
Use 32bit chroot on Arch64, maybe?
If anyone has done such things, please tell me how.
Thank you very much!

That's exactly what I followed to make a 32bit chroot on a 64bit machine. Then just use pacman inside the chroot to install the base-devel group, and you can start compiling packages from AUR, exactly the same way as you usually do. That's what I do (I have eee laptop on which it's pain to compile, so I use my 64bit machine for compiling). Then just transfer the newly created packages to the 32bit machine and install...
I don't use distcc for that, so can't help you with this, sorry.

[SOLVED] Pacman trying to install 64-bit packages on 32-bit system

I was upgrading my Arch Linux i686 install, and I got the following error:
error: The mirror 'http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch' contains the $arch variable, but no Architecture is defined.
I added Architecture = i686 to /etc/pacman.conf under [options], and when I run pacman -Syu, I get these errors:
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)

Why is pacman trying to install x86_64 packages on my i686 system?

Core dump using OCI HP 32 bit package

Does any one successfully run OCI application on HP using 32 bit libraries?
I got core dump at the end of running application, around desctruction part. Following are the statement I got from GDB:

If I build my application in 64 bit using OCI 64 bit package, no problem at all. But I have to make my application work in 32 bit so that I can not simply switch to 64 bit.
Please give me some help. Thanks.

I got the problem solved myself. The core dump happens when use OCI 32 bit libraries with STL string. It cores at destroying the STL string.
Add the option "-mt" to the compile command, the problem will go away.

Ok so I downloaded the most current installer CS5.1, My previous installer was version 5.0. It did install fine fully updated to my license version. I just wanted to update in case anyone in the future has a similiar experience. Too bad this advice was not offered by the "experts" here.

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.

Howto build 32bit package on Arch64?

hello,
yesterday i installed 64bit arch. I need to build 32bit and 64bit packages for my repo. I don't know how to build 32bit packages on my machine. I read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Arch64.3F but I do something wrong. I installed gcc-multilib and tried to build mc-new (linux32 yaourt -S mc-new). I got 64bit package. Although 'linux32 uname -a' says I have i686 machine.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks (I don't want i686 chroot)

I installed i686 system to /opt/arch32. Then I did 'sudo linux32 chroot /opt/arch32'. Now I can build 32bit packages running on i686? Am I right?
Is this ok? /opt/arch32/etc/makepkg.conf:
CARCH="i686"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"

Install Package Not In Repo

I would like to know how you can install a package not in the repos. The reason is my favorite video game is coming back Unreal Tournament. They have a linux version for the game which is nice. Can someone instruct me on how to get pacman to install the game?

Trilby wrote:
Which wiki, ours or theirs? Our wiki can't help you with this - the provided zip file has none of the bits needed to be used on a system other than the one it was built on. Their wiki does not give any information about the system it was built on, nor the requirements for running it on another system.
It also uses relative links to the libraries they provide in a non-standard directory structure - so this could never be "installed", it could only be run from wherever you unpacked it (unless perhaps you could relink it). You can unpack the zip file in your home directory, then just run the binary. But you'll likely just end up with the same segfault it gives me.
I'm going to defer to you. Can you give me a description about what is needed? I will bring it to their attention. I have a feeling these guys are primarly windows developers. Can you recommend some good reading to learn more about linux functionality. I have learned alot but, progress is slow. I know there is alot to learn but, I'm a pretty quick study.
The wiki I was talking about was what they provided in the zip file to what arch wiki described. I couln't put it together. It makes sense I couldn't
EDIT: I just posted a link to this post for their review. Don't worry about the description. However, I would like the reading.

What is your favorite way of running 32 bit apps in Arch64?

I'm curious as to what methods Arch64 users use to run their 32 bit applications and what is your opinion on them.
I myself relies mostly on lib32 packages to run a few applications that I need (mostly flash & wine), which works quite nicely expect it makes my system feel a bit 'messier'. chroot looks like a nice option but I've not tried it out yet (it looks complicated to setup to be honest).

It's good to know that someone has VueScan working on their x64 box. It is the one thing that keeps me dual booting with Vista.
However, just like Zodmaner, chroot looks complicated.
Setting up a chroot isn't that difficult, there are just has a lot of steps to follow! VueScan works for me in a 32bit chroot with just one issue - for some reason it loses the ability to initialise my scanner and I have to run XSane first to do the initialisation before starting VueScan. I had the same problem running VueScan in a 32bit chroot on 64bit Ubuntu, so it's not an Arch-specific problem, and Ed Hamrick wasn't able to help when I emailed him.

How to make use of 32bit packages on Arch64

Hello everyone, I recently installed arch 64bit which was not yet fully tweaked to suit my needs.
My 32bit version has some nice apps and I would like to know how to make use of them or even reuse them so that I won't download things anymore because I have a slow internet connection...:)
Arch x86_64 / XFCE4
Thanks in advance

You can reuse the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ on your Arch32.
You can use these saved packages in a 32bit chroot ENV on your Arch64. Just pacman -U all of them.

Not able to install some QT-dependant packages after upgrading to QT5

I ran an updated today, it was a major update, there was a lot of stuff that I got prompted to replace, I said yes of course. One of those was qt, which was a dependancy to some of my apps, like Skype and edb-debugger. So I just, removed those apps, and proceeded with the update, it went alright. After that, I wanted to reinstall those two apps:

It states that it wants a version of qt which is higher than 4.5 right? I already have qt5! so what's up?
I looked into my /var/cache/pacman/pkg for qt so that I could downgrade, I didn't find that 'literal' package, I found some qt-related stuff.

Here you are trying to install skype from multilib, right? Then your mirror is not fully up to date or you need another -Sy. skype in the repos has been updated to depend on (lib32-)qt4 instead of (lib32-)qt.
edb-debugger in AUR hasn't caught up with this change, you should at least edit the PGKBUILD, changing qt in debs to qt4.
You can't just downgrade qt to the 4.x branch if you have apps depending on the qt5-* packages.

[SOLVED]How to use pulseaudio with in 32 bit chroot on ARch64

I am trying to running some 32bit software from chroot environment on Arch64.
I set up pulseaudio on Arch64 property.
However, within 32 bit chroot, I cannot use pulseaudio.
For an example,
arch32 chroot /home/xxxx/Audio > paplay Front_Center.wav
Connection failure: Connection refused
How can I fix this?
Last edited by phabulosa (2008-04-27 19:37:15)

I made this to work by the following steps:
1. Install pulseaudio and alsa-plugin stuff in Arch32;
2. Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa on Arch64 and enable "load-module module-native-protocol-tcp";
3. Edit /etc/rc.d/pulseaudio and add a line "cp /var/run/pulse/.pulse-cookie /opt/arch32/etc/pulse-cookie" after pulseaudio line in 'start' part;
4. Add some lines in /etc/hosts.allow on Arch64 (some of them may not be necessary) ;
pulseaudio-native: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-simple: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-cli: 127.0.0.1
pulseaudio-http: 127.0.0.1
esound: 127.0.0.1
5. Follow the "PulseAudio over Network" in Arch Wiki on Pulse audio http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pul … er_network and configure my Arch32 as a remote client on the network while setting the server address as 127.0.0.1;
6. Restart Pulseaudio daemon on Arch64 and Run "paplay" on Arch32 to test.
