scratchbox on x64
 

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.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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:

Hope that helps,

Andrew

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

ok thanks
seems to be working!

(although i am on fedora9 and ia32 is different)

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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!

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

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.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

Same problem as above - even with setarch i386, apt-get update insists on looking for arm64 binaries instead of i386 binaries.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

It must be an APT related problem.

Type this: $ setarch i386 uname -m

It should return i686.

There are 2 solutions:

1) Download the packages manually instead of using APT, then use setarch.

2) Build a 32 bit chroot. Guide.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

Or 3) Install from tarballs instead of debs (-s option to installer script)

Reviving thread alert!!!

I'm trying to install scratchbox on 64-bit kubuntu and I've got stuck. This is what happens when I run the ./maemo-sdk-install_4.1.2.sh script:

This is after manually installing scratchbox with dpkg.

TIA.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

use search to learn how to disable vdso32

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

I searched and I learned, but nothing works.

If I add "vm.vdso_enabled = 0" to /etc/sysctl.conf, running sysctl -p gives this:

If I try "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled" I get:

And if I try the Python sb_fix program, I get:

I'm out of ideas...

From http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4.1.2/INSTALL.txt:

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

So what worked finally ?

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

Hmm, I'm using scratchbox on Ubuntu 9.10 x64 for a long time without problems (my "timeshop" is just in 4 thumbs from extras). AFAIR all I've done is "vdso32=0" "kernel" line parameter in grub config.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

Could anybody be of assisstance with getting scratchbox to work on Ubuntu (Oneiric) 64 bit. Tried following instructions from the wiki's and here to no avail.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Re: scratchbox on x64
 

Got it working, finally.
