 Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2004 1:27 am Post subject: emul-linux-x86-* packages |
 |
|
Are these packages simply x86 binary packages with a different ebuild and some links and env.d files?
Can I make my own from exisiting binary builds I have?
Are there restrictions on architecture (I think my existing packages have pentium4 flags/arch - whatever that is) or should I just rebuild them for 686?
Thanks in advance. |

I don't understand why you would not want to use Gentoo's emul-linux ebuilds. Why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to?  |

With respect to the emul-* ebuilds already in portage, I have installed all of them already. The question was more about what they represent in general...
I have several 32 bit binaries running with them, doom3-demo, ut2004-demo, java 32 bit, etc... but I was geeking out trying to get scorched3d running. I downloaded a 32 bit rpm binary and unpacked it, but it was complaining about various libs not present (libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0, libogg, libvorbis) so I downloaded those as well as set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use them... I can't remember exactly what went wrong (I think after playing with ldd and chasing down libs it was libstdc++v3) but I was mostly curious about what indeed the emul-* packages were; so to repeat the questions:
Are these packages simply x86 binary packages with a different ebuild and some links and env.d files?
Can I make my own from exisiting binary builds I have?
Are there restrictions on architecture (I think my existing packages have pentium4 flags/arch - whatever that is) or should I just rebuild them for 686?
Thanks again, in advance.
PS. its really not too important, the more games which run, the less "real" work I get done ;) |
