ORBit2 Slackbuild fails when building 32 bit package on current multilib

I am trying to build ORBit2 as a dependency for GConf and then google-chrome. This is a multilib system and I want 32 bit chrome. Both my 64 bit and compat32 packages are all current as of today per ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/. I have edited the Slackbuild as follows:

Code:

PRGNAM=ORBit2

VERSION=${VERSION:-2.14.18}  ### edited for VERSION

ARCH=${ARCH:-x86_64}  ### edited for ARCH

BUILD=${BUILD:-1}

TAG=${TAG:-_SBo}



CWD=$(pwd)

TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo}

PKG=$TMP/package-$PRGNAM

OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}



if [ "$ARCH" = "i486" ]; then

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686"

  LIBDIRSUFFIX=""

elif [ "$ARCH" = "i686" ]; then

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mtune=i686"

  LIBDIRSUFFIX=""

elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"

  LIBDIRSUFFIX=""  ### edited per Eric's instructions

fi

The build fails each time with:

Code:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.4.3/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.4.3/../../../libIDL-2.so when searching for -lIDL-2

I am using the newest version of ORBit2 as the above indicates, but this is just to see if the newer package would build. The X.X.17 version failed with the same output.
I have run:

Code:

. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh

I've had no problems building this package with current in a pure 64 bit environment.

Quote:

. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh

That usually doesn't work for me either.

This is how I would build a 32-bit packages for my 64-bit multilib system:

build the package on a 32-bit system
move it to the 64-bit system
run convertpkg-compat32 on the package if it's a library
install the package

It works every time. I run 64-bit Slackware, and I have 32-bit Slackware in a VirtualBox virtual machine.

The -LIDL-2 error is exactly what I got when I tried to build a 32-bit Firefox package from source on my 64-bit system. Building it on my 32-bit system worked.

Does using this work?:
SLKCFLAGS="-m32 -O2"

just guessing, haven't tried it myself, but I think you need to install a libidl-compat32 package as a dependency for building ORBit2.
from a root prompt

Code:

cd /tmp

wget http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-current/slackware/l/libidl-0.8.10-i486-1.txz

convertpkg-compat32 -i libidl-0.8.10-i486-1.txz

installpkg libidl-compat32-0.8.10-x86_64-1.txz

if you need a ready made ORBit2 package to convert I have built one for i686.

No it didn't..............but it got me experimenting and

Code:

SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=i686"

DID WORK. I just copied the SLKCFLAGS from the arch that I was trying to build for. That's good to know. I have been using my slack13 system to build packages for the multilib system, although frankly I was doing just as well using Salix repositories. In that regard.

I guess I should start a new thread for the last bit of 32 bit google-chrome on multiltib PITAness which is that I can't access of all things gmail.com due to ssl failure. I've managed to get the internal flash going.
