scratchbox on x64

[Delphipgmr]

I am using fedora x64.

has anyone been able to setup the development environment (scratchbox / SDK) on a 64 bit machine?

apparently scratchbox only supports 32bit?


you know, if i knew x64 was going to be such a problem, i wouldnt have installed 64 bit.

If you run the standard installer, with the 32-bit libraries installed (not a full chroot), prefixed with setarch i386 it Just Works[TM].

im not sure what you mean (i am new to this, i am a windows programmer!)

Assuming you're running Ubuntu, Debian or similar system:

1. Open the installation instructions
2. Download the installer script as described in section 1.1.
3. Ensure ia32-libs is installed.
4. Run the installation script, prefixing the installer execution with setarch (man page)
5. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.

This may look something like:

$ wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh
$ chmod a+x maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs util-linux
$ sudo setarch i386 ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh
...

Hope that helps,

Andrew

ok thanks
seems to be working!

(although i am on fedora9 and ia32 is different)

ok another problem... not sure..

1st, i installed scratchbox.. appears to work, i created an ID and everything, but when i log into it i get:

Session setup problem, abort.

so i went on to the next step, installinbg the SDK, and i get this (running the script like you sugested, setarch i386 script_name, but i also tried it normally)

see below

Just for the heads up - I've got it running here on a 64bit openSUSE 11.0 before, so it is possible. Dunno about this particular error though.

[Pretoriano]

I can't get it running on Debian x86_64:
http://scratchbox.org/debian/dists/m...64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

I have all installed and run it with setarch. Bye!

This is the "well-known" scratchbox VDSO problem: VDSO must be disabled. See http://www.scratchbox.org/wiki/DisablingVdso

On Debian 64-bit kernels (I do not know whether it is the same on Fedora kernels), the only way to disable VDSO support for 32-bit applications (like scratchbox) is to specify the following option on the kernel boot command line:

vdso32=0

So, I recommend rebooting your 64-bit system with that option to see if it fixes the problem.
