inferno build faiils

[jfmxl]

Hi, I am on wheezy trying to compile inferno, but it fails ...

It seems I have no 32 bit X11 libraries.

There must be a package that supplies them, right?

I've been looking but cannot locate it. Where is it? Please.

Thanks,

[stevepusser]

What platform are you compiling this on? If 32-bit, you need the -dev packages for the libraries, probably libx11-dev and libxext-dev.

[jfmxl]

I'm sorry, I'm on SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I thought I'd given that information but I see now I had not.

I have

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXext.so

I need the 32 bit version of those libraries.

[stevepusser]

Simple enough, enable multiarch with

Code: Select all

su -c 'dpkg-add-architecture i386'

and install the :i386 versions of those -dev packages, such as "lib-xext-dev:i386". Note that the 32 and 64-bit runtime libraries can coexist, but not the -dev packages, so you'll have to remove the 64-bit versions (this usually is done automatically)

What am I doing wrong here?

[stevepusser]

Sorry, that's a typo on my part, it should have been libxext-dev. Also you would need libx11-dev:i386

[jfmxl]

Thanks. I believe I now have the requisite x libraries ...

I have an XCloseDisplay() but it calls an xcb_disconnect() but doesn't find one?

Where's he beef? Have I got the wrong library?

[peter_irich]

In Debian testing it is libxcb1-dev. Try install as root:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libxcb1-dev

Peter.

[stevepusser]

Wouldn't that be the :i386 version of that additional -dev package?

[jfmxl]

jfl@wsdeb:~t$ sudo apt-get install libxcb1-dev:i386

But maybe I should try the unstable version? That sounds dangerous.
How would I do that if I decided to throw caution to the winds?

Add a line for the unstable ditribution to /etc/apt/sources.list?

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable

[peter_irich]

You can to know details about your distributive from command

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a

And I'm wondering what libX11.so.6.4.0 is needed. Debian testing and next contains libX11.so.6.3.0.

Peter.

[stevepusser]

'm sorry, I'm on SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

This would indicate a Wheezy kernel. It's beginning to look a bit weird for your system, especially in light of the above post:

And I'm wondering what libX11.so.6.4.0 is needed. Debian testing and next contains libX11.so.6.3.0.

You haven't mixed Debian stable and upstream repositories yet, have you? That's a sure way to break your system.

I'm looking at the Inferno page, and it says:

On Linux systems with a Debian base, such as Ubuntu, to compile the graphical version of the system you will need the Debian packages libxext-dev, libxpm-dev, and x11proto-xext-dev installed.

For cross-compiling, that would be the :i386 versions.

As far as I know there is no amd64 version of inferno. Was my syntax above correct?

[stevepusser]

Some programs won't compile on 64-bit, but they are rather rare. You could experiment with a 64-bit compile just to see what happens, unless the docs specifically state that it won't build.
