hi, i would just like to put in a request for qmake, its required to install mythtv and it currently is only available in the package 'qt', which is 40+mb download. if the qmake can be split off to its own little package, that would be great.
also, i see wine is in the 32bit repos, but not the 64bit. any reason why? i need to run wine on my system (for ripping cd's with EAC) and would like to be using 64bit system.
qmake and wine for 64bit OS
Re: qmake and wine for 64bit OS
As Qt is a Slackware package we won't rebuild a Qt or qmake package for Salix.
AFAIK you would need 32 bit multilibs to build and run 32 bit Wine on a 64 bit OS. So you may want to search for Slackware multilib and after that try to build Wine. And take a look here http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit

Re: qmake and wine for 64bit OS
re qmake, i just thought it would be a good idea to have it on its own. its 40mb download to get the qt package, and all that is required is 1 little part thats probably only 1mb. Downloading mythtv is only like 20mb (from memory), so the majority of downloads is for qt.
i had done a bit of googling and saw mention of the multilibs, so i will look into it further.

Re: qmake and wine for 64bit OS
As that is a slackware package, we can't do that. Anyway, if it's only needed for installing mythtv, not running it, you could remove it after you're done with it.neRok wrote:hi, i would just like to put in a request for qmake, its required to install mythtv and it currently is only available in the package 'qt', which is 40+mb download. if the qmake can be split off to its own little package, that would be great.
Because wine is strictly a 32bit application. It is not possible to use it in a pure 64bit environment. If you turn your system into a multilib environment (64bit + 32bit libraries), then you would be able to run it. I don't think it needs to be recompiled though, you just need to install 32bit librariesneRok wrote:also, i see wine is in the 32bit repos, but not the 64bit. any reason why? i need to run wine on my system (for ripping cd's with EAC) and would like to be using 64bit system.

No, there is a 64 bit WINE for 64 bit Windows, toogapan wrote:Because wine is strictly a 32bit application. It is not possible to use it in a pure 64bit environment.
Re: qmake and wine for 64bit OS
From the horse's mouth: "To successfully build 32-bit Wine on 64-bit system your system needs 32-bit compatibility packages. These include: a compiler that can create 32-bit binaries, 32-bit development and runtime libraries, and development headers. To install them all, you can do it the easy way or the hard way."

I've been experimenting on using alien's multilib for slackware to get Wine up and running on x86_64 but I'm not quite there yet. I got Steam up and running but then it crashed with memory errors so I guess I haven't quite done it yet.
HOWEVER, I think one ought to try to just run the Slackware packages. As the Wine wiki says: if you only intend to RUN wine then just run the ready made packages.
Packages for Wine 1.3.25 are here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/fi ... 25/x86_64/
