[SOLVED] Installing 32-bit OpenAL on Slackware64-current/multilib, getting linker error ("File in wrong format")

ahc_fan · 09-18-2017, 11:25 AM

I am running Slackware64-current and using the OpenAL slackbuild for 14.2 from slackbuilds.org. It gets to 100% and gives the error.

Adding this line doesn't seem to be an option,

Code:

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

as the slackbuild does not use configure. Instead it looks like this:

Code:

cmake \
  -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL="on" \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DALSOFT_EXAMPLES=OFF \
  -DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX}

And I'm not sure how to specify linker flags with cmake.

This is the first time I'm having this problem with OpenAL, it always worked before.

Any idea where the problem lies?

What is the build error? It builds fine in my multilib Slackware64-current.

Can you post the actual end of the build log showing the error and lines leading up to it? OpenAL is not 32-bit-only, so it should build fine on Slackware64-14.2 (of course, no guarantees about -current). You should also see if there are any updates to it in ponce's repo for -current, as that's what it is for.

Finally, you could try setting LDFLAGS. It is not an automake thing, it is a shell environment variable. Either of the following would have the same effect:

Code:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
cmake \
  -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL="on" \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DALSOFT_EXAMPLES=OFF \
  -DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX}

or

Code:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \
cmake \
  -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL="on" \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DALSOFT_EXAMPLES=OFF \
  -DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX}

I downloaded and installed the 32-bit and 64-bit version of OpenAL version 1.17.2 from AlienBob's SlackBuild Rpo

However, this time he didn't update the 32-bit version to 1.18.0 along with the 64-bit version.

However, I was able to build a 32-bit version from the SBo Slackbuild using the wrapper script below.

The 'secret' for me was to source /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh ( part of AlienBob's Multilib Environment ).

The wrapper script seemed to do 'the right thing' and ldd resolved 32-bit libraries and doinst.sh referenced usr/lib/ as expected.

HTH

I actually decided to go back to 14.2 as I have no need for -current(I was hoping amdgpu would be supporting my card, but apparently not yet). So sorry to have wasted your time on this issue.

However there was a problem with 14.2. After a fresh install and format of the root partition I did the usual update gpg, update, upgrade-all, clean-system, nothing else, and X would not start:

Code:

radeon: abi major version(20) doesn't match the server's version(23)

I don't know what the deal was there, but I just said "fuck it" and once again tried -current. Now OpenAL compiles without error. Before I had sbopkg set to use the master branch and I was mixing SBo and sbopkg. Perhaps that cause some incompatibility for OpenAL?

Regardless, I have current running stable now so I'm happy. Thank you all for the assistance.

Don't forget to mark your thread SOLVED.
