Slackware :: Change The $ARCH Variable To X86_64 Too, Right?

Jun 5, 2011

I'm mainly asking beforehand so I won't have to shoot myself in the head twenty minutes from now. I suppose I'll find/figure out one way or the other anyway . Can I just source the 32dev.sh and then run sbopkg -i if the source for the package I want to create isn't 64bit capable? I might need to change the $ARCH variable to x86_64 too, right?

General :: Compiling 32bit Programs - How To Set Arch Variable

May 21, 2011

I am new to Slackware and I am wondering how you set the ARCH variable. On the multilib wiki page it says:

"Rather than editing the script and change/remove CFLAGS definitions, you can set the ARCH to 'x86_64' and save yourself some time."

So from this I understand that they advise against editing the Slackbuild script. How do I set the ARCH variable on the command line or is it a configuration file I need to edit? I am running Slackware 13.1 64.

If I was writing a SlackBuild that repackages a precompiled binary, how would I know if it was i{3,4,5,6}86?Or should I just assume i386 unless it says otherwise?Just wondering how the people at SlackBuilds.org figure this out.

General :: ARCH & Slackware's Bootup/mounting Process?

Jul 9, 2010

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what file, etc is the equivalent of ARCH's /etc/rc.sysinit? I need to know this because I am having many problems making the new nfluxos iso's for ARCH because of how ARCH now mounts stuff at bootup

due to whatever changed in udev or udisks or something else in ARCH now, when I make the system into a livecd it doublemounts everything when booting for example; output of "mount" in nfluxos with 3.4squashfs udev 151

Code:
[root@nfluxos ~]# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
aufs on / type aufs (rw,relatime,si=4ce08f22,nowarn_perm)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)

Slackware :: When I Used Arch Linux, One Of Favorite Stops At The Forums Was The Community Contributions Section?

Feb 3, 2010

One thing that really bothers me about Slackware is the lack of unified, well maintained, and up-to-date documentation, but what keeps me coming back is the outstanding community. I see a lot of community contributions floating around on these forums, but they often get buried in all the questions and other posts people create. I know there's a search feature, but sometimes it's fun to browse an organized list of the community's work and see if I find anything fun or interesting.

Back when I used Arch Linux, one of my favorite stops at the forums was the Community Contributions section. The FreeBSD forums also have a section for user-contributed HOWTOse should have a section like this. Call it "Contributions" and place it by the "Installation" section at the top of this forum. It would provide a great place for users to check out what the other slackers have come up with without making a thread of their own to ask (which will probably result in many duplicate threads) or digging up an ancient thread.The only new threads allowed there could be a HOWTO, a new process or method a user discovered, or a user-made script/program/etc. Of course, other users should be able to comment with their replies for suggestions and/or improvements.

Slackware :: Installing Slackware 13.1 X86_64?

Oct 2, 2010

I have just been forced into upgrading my mother board and cpu so now own a x86 cpu and was thinking i would give the x86_64 Slackware a try. I realize that i need to do a reinstall but can i save my /home partition? Will that save my settings or am i asking for problems? I assume i can just drop all of my config files into the new install as well.

Slackware :: Fbreader.SlackBuild Uses /usr/lib In X86_64

Jan 13, 2010

I used the fbreader.SlackBuild in a 64bit system to create a package and I got some libraries installed under /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. FBReader seems to work fine though, so I'm not sure this is a problem. I guess it could be if some other app looks for those libraries. Just thought I should report it anyway.

I used UI=gtk if it matters.

Slackware :: Sc Doesn't Really Work In X86_64?

Dec 2, 2010

The sc spreadsheet app doesn't really work in 64bits. It launches but you're unable to do anything with it, it's not possible to enter any values in the cells or do anything else. It works fine in 32bit though.

To make it work properly in 64bits, you can use this patch, borrowed from debian: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...changes-7.16-3

And there is also this patch to make DESTDIR work properly with the Makefile: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...-destdir.patch

Slackware :: How To Compile Gnustep For X86_64

Apr 9, 2010

The background to the problem. I was dangerous, not deadly or elite and I want to be that way again. The best representation that I have found is oolite. Now this installs by auto-package but only in 32-bit and I find auto-package a bit of a pain. I have the windows version installed and running under wine but would prefer a compiled 64-bit Slackware package.

Oolite requires gnu-step so I have downloaded the source and some old (12.2) slackbuilds, which I have modified, and made a package for gnustep-make. The next stage is to make a package for gnustep-base however it is failing with the following error

Code:

./configure: line 1390: gnustep-config: command not found
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh /tmp/SBo/gnustep-base-1.18.0/config.sub

General :: 64 Bit - Change From I686 (32-bit) To X86_64 Without A Complete Reinstall?

Feb 4, 2011

I just bought a new laptop and installed Fedora 14 on it. I now just noticed that I must have been very sloppy when selecting the download CD, because somehow I managed to install the 32-bit i686 version instead of the 64-bit x86_64.

Is there a way to change without wiping out the existing install and do a reinstall?

Slackware :: 13.1 X86_64 And X86 Dual Boot Setup?

Jun 12, 2010

I've got 13.1 x86_64 installed on /dev/sda2, and I would like to have 13.1 x86 installed on /dev/sdb2. How do I setup lilo.conf to handle this? While installing 13.1 x86 on /dev/sdb2 I skipped the LILO step, so what I currently have is a full 32 bit Slackware 13.1 install on /dev/sdb2, but no way to boot it.

Slackware :: Heavy Instability On X86_64 Current?

Sep 29, 2010

I have a very frustrating stability problem on my Workstation where I run a Slackware64 Current installation. The problem is, many programs just crashes, after they started, or after a quit short while. Affected are Firefox, Thunderbird, Krusader, Amarok, Konsole, and many other programs. The second problem is, if I downloaded a bzip2 archive, it is corrupt. I downloaded many archives, from other mirrors, and all corrupt. I had installed, the Multilib-packages, thought they would be the reason for the problems, and installed the standard packages of glibc and gcc. No changes. Then I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.33.4, to 2.6.35.6. (Compiled it myself) Nothing better.

Slackware :: Breakage Occasioned By Xrdb-1.0.9-x86_64-1_slack13.1?

May 2, 2011

A routine slackpkg upgrade-all on Slackware64 13.1 upgraded xrdb to xrdb-1.0.9-x86_64-1_slack13.1 and resulted in breaking urxvt. The cause was hard to find; it turned out to be a trailing space in ~/.Xresources on custom line

Code:
URxvt.keysym.Mod4-v: perl:clipboard:paste which sets up Super+E to call the sub paste in the perl file "clipboard".

IDK whether other X resources or programs would be more tolerant of trailing space(s) and whether this is Slackware-specific (unlikely, given Slackware's philosophy) but it is such a difficult problem to identify I thought it worth this "heads up".

Slackware :: Proprietary Nvidia Driver Crashes - 13 X86_64

Jan 23, 2010

I'm having an issue where the proprietary nvidia driver seems to crash my system. the weird thing is that it only happens if i have already started an X session. here is what i mean. i don't use a display manager so i invoke X by running startx. now if i run it for the first time it starts no problem. but if i kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace and then try to run startx again it just hangs and the machine completely freezes up. this only happens with the proprietary nvidia driver. if i use the vesa driver it works fine. the open-source nvidia driver doesn't seem to support my card: GeForce GT220. i never had this problem with slackware 13 x86. i have tried using the 190.42 version from slackbuilds.org as well as the latest version from nvidia's site 190.53. aside from this problem it seems to work fine otherwise.

Slackware :: X86_64 '-current' FireFox & Thunderbird With Linking?

Jan 21, 2010

I'm preparing a laptop for Slackware 13.x or whatever the new release will be. I've installed '-current' x86_64 arch. Boy, is this baby fast on this laptop. I thought 13 was fast but oh well another thread.

My issue now is that with '-current' is that ThunderBird links won't open in FF. I click on a link in TB and noting happens. I searched and found '"Browser" problems in Thunderbird 3'.

In this thread, post #9;Quote:

and worked fine.

I modified the 'prefs.js' file. Of course it was done while app was not running. Still no joy. Further searches showed the same thing with most users bumping back to older versions. There's got to be fix and I refuse to give up to a computer let alone a DE.
