SlackWare 14.0 pulseaudio build problem (a question about it)

marbangens · 01-07-2013, 04:06 PM

First error I got from http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...io/pulseaudio/ was

Code:

/usr/lib/libX11-xcb.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

I have 64-bit slackware with multilib so i added

Code:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \

Now it build fine and i also upgraded the source from 2.0 to 3.0. Never been this slacky before but my question is.
Have I done this right? Is this a clean way to fix it? I wait to gett more understending how this effect the package befor I install it.

This just indicates that it is trying to link to 32 bit library for a 64 bit package. Not what you wanted

This is correct method for linking to the correct $ARCH specific library when using autotools or some similar configure script.

For a quick (and maybe dirty) way to tell if the installed librar(y|ies) link to the right $ARCH specific libraries you can run ldd on them.
Eg.

Code:

# ldd /usr/lib64/libm.so   
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffab52a000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9d6d02b000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9d6d713000)

this was what I looked for, a way to make sure the libs link right and they did.
Is there a not to tecknical websait/link to what unix libs are? right now I think
of them as program parts or objects like in c++ but they link alltogheter to save space.
