Something that is on my TO-DO list but is likely never to get done, is to create a bi-arch Debian package of jackd and a couple of its dependencies. Then, one may build and run ChucK or SClang using 32-bit libjack, without a chroot. This is how many non-64-bit-safe programs run today. $ find /usr/lib32/ -type f | wc -l 714 So, on my Intel Core 2 Duo Debian Sid system, roughly 714 libraries have 32-bit alternate versions, for use by apps that are not 64-bit safe. This is a tiny percentage compared to the 64-bit libraries, by the way: $ find /usr/lib64/ -type f | wc -l 13443 But, I'd propose that a simultaneous installation of 64-bit and 32-bit versions of libjack, each in their appropriate location in /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64, would be cleaner and more transparent for the user than creating chroots and such. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGdWPme8HF+6xeOIcRAq0fAKDG99ruJUO3ly9mOTSohfTTuh/lnACdE0+G Z6T1sumB0ckODcOz01D5zmo= =ldpp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
