I know the subject title makes it seem like this should be something on the Slackware forums but I think it can be generalized to other 64-bit Linux operating systems which is why I ask here. I'm running Slackware 13.37 64-bit and was wondering if I use Wine to run a Windows program (with multilib files), would it still run as if it had been used on a 64-bit computer?
View 2 RepliesI have an old Win98 program that controls my amateur radio transceiver. I want to try it in wine, so have followed Eric's instructions on a clean -current installation. When I get to the wine SlackBuild, it tells me that it needs fontforge & webcore-fonts. I am assuming that I need to install these dependencies as 32-bit, but I am not sure, so would someone use the proper baseball bat to get me on track?

has anyone built WINE with the 32-bit compatibility packages? Does it work?
I'm using Slackware64 with multilib (AlienBob) and i can't compile 32bit programs; 64bit programs do compile (tried helloworld). I read the tutorial and folowed it step by step setting my paths right (32dev.sh) and changing libsuffix="64" to libsufix="" from the slackbuild script.
In the attached config.log in the core test section there is this line that i find interesting
Code...
Why is it reading specs from lib64? code...
Been thinking about changing over to 64 bit, but I was just curious about whether or not I'll have to worry about incompatibility with a few 32bit-only applications I use, once I've set up multilib. I'll test it out in vbox when I get home but I wanted to check here to see if I could maybe get a solid yes/no/maybe answer.
View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way to get all of the multilib files from [URL]? I've tried:
1.) wget - won't use wildcards on an http server, and trying to get the whole folder just gets me index.html
2.) ftp - it's not an ftp server and I can't login anonymously via gftp. I wasn't expecting this to work, it was just something else to try.
3.) rsync - If this could work, I may not be using the right syntax. I tried (-n for a dry run first):
Code:
rsync -avn [URL]
And it just sat there doing nothing until I hit ctl-c.
Obviously I could download each file from my web browser but I figured there had to be a more elegant Unix-y way without all the clicky-clicky. Are the files hosted on an ftp server anywhere?
Is the future Slackware release 13.1 going to be default multilib...?

Is there a program that does what wine does for Linux, so you can run Linux programs on windows without installing Linux.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Wine no problem. Then I downloaded a Windows Chess program(ECTool) to the desktop. I right clicked on the ECTool icon and checked run with Wine. The program came up just fine and I could make moves on the chessboard, but no information was saved. I got a blank screen under games in progress. Anyone use this program or have any ideas what to do next? ECTool is listed as a program that works with Wine.

I am trying to install a program named "Ntrip" with wine, running Linux Mint 10 64bit (based on Ubuntu 10.04) I installed the software without problems, when I try to start it I get the following error:

As far as I know, mono is by default on every Ubuntu 10.04 installation, however as per the error message, I installed the Windows version of Mono via Wine successfully. Trying to start the program again, still coming up with above error.
I'm trying to setup Baldur's Gate in Wine and it's giving me this error: "There is no Windows program configured to run that type of file". I've enabled the file to be allowed to run as an executable, and the program is completely uncorrupted - I just installed it on another computer with Windows.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I install wine the add/remove program wants to install both 86_64 and i686 files. I have the x86_64 version of Fedora 14. I am having problems with counterstrike and have installed it using Wine, have noted problems when both types of files are installed.

I want to take out the multilib capability for my system. Is it as simple as using "slackpkg clean-system", to remove all the compat32 pkgs, then using "slackpkg upgrade-all" to replace all the gcc and glibc packages?The reason I ask, is that I only used the multilib to be able to run Google Earth. There are no other x86 packages on the system. I have another x86 computer that will run Google Earth if I need it. It just wasn't worth it for this one package.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Slackware64 13.1 two days ago for the first time ever on my Dell Inspiron 1525 after using linux for about a year (Debian and Fedora, though I've installed a few others in VMs). I've really enjoyed Slackware so far, it's been comparatively trouble free. However, I decided to follow AlienBOB's instructions to make it multilib, and though I thought I'd done everything right - I can't seem to compile any 32-bit 13.1 slackbuilds; I've tried with sbopkg as well as the normal method, but it simply won't work. I must have done something wrong, but I've re-read the instructions on getting mutilib working several times and I can't work out what it is.

View 9 Replies View RelatedA certain program I use requires pango and gtkglext in 32 bit. I had already installed both of these in 64, and just now I downloaded .rpms for them in 32 bit and used rpm2tgz to turn them into .tgz files. The application i needed them for now works fine, but I'm wondering if installing precompiled packages like I did may mess with the 64 bit installs I already did, or if they can both be installed at the same time without any issues.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm going to install Slackware 13.1 soon and I may also install the 32-bit compatibility libraries from Eric (Alien BoB).I'd like confirmation on the process of updating multilib Slackware when there's a security patch. I'm talking about running the -stable branch, by the way.Under the normal methods of updating (e.g. 'slackpkg upgrade-all' or using the script I developed to download a local mirror of the patches directory and install from there, or even doing it by hand), the regular 64-bit packages will get updated.However, the 32-bit compatibility versions of those files won't get updated. Right?So I'll need to download the new 32-bit patches, run the convertpkg-compat32 script on them, and then upgradepkg the new files.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a Slackware64-Multilib 13.1 (from the Alien's wiki page) and decided to upgrade the kernel 33.4 to the 37.6 (also using the Alien's wiki page).
But now Adobe, Wine and other related packages with Multilib does not work. So I upgrade the gcc and glibc packages but the problem remains. What did I mess?
Would it be possible/advisable to add a note to the security emails if an updated package is also part of the multilib install? I know with this last round of updates, seamonkey-solibs and cups are a part of multilib. I snagged the 32bit versions, converted them, and upgraded. It's kind of hard to keep track of which packages are a part of multilib.
