[SOLVED] Installing pdksh on 64bit machine

ethereal1m · 07-22-2011, 08:00 AM

Dear all,
I'm trying to install pdksh-5.2.14 in my Slackware-13.0-64 machine. I downloaded the build with the source from slackbuild.org and ran the build script but got the following error:

Code:

gcc -c  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686  -DDEBIAN alloc.c
alloc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
make: *** [alloc.o] Error 1

Does this mean the software is not for 64bit machine? How can I fix this? The info file doesn't show me the location of the 64bit version, therefore I assume this one worked on such machine.

best regards,
ethereal1m

Hi,
this sounds maybe stupid, but have you enabled multilib?

Well, -march=i486 -mtune=i686 are not the right flags for x86-64. src2pkg was able to give it the correct flags on my machine, but I don't run multilib.

It's quite simple to use pdksh.Slackbuild for x86_64 :

Edit line 32 in pdksh.Slackbuild from : ARCH=${ARCH:-i486}

to : ARCH=${ARCH:-x86_64}

@knudfl,
I was an idiot, didn't bother to check the script.. Thanks for the very useful pointer...
