Vice does not build and run on x86_64
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:00 EST
Description of problem: Vice does not build on x86_64. It installs files into /usr/lib/vice and not to /usr/lib64/vice as expectged by the spec file. See: http://fedoraproject.org/extras/3/build-logs/x86_64/vice.log Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vice-1.14-5 Additional info: The files in the dir are no real librarys. They are identical to the ones in the i386 package. So I suggesting to leave them in /usr/lib; I also found a suse vice package that installs them in /usr/lib/vice also. But this fixes only half of the problem. Is also does not run, e.g. when I start x64 or x128 is aborts with: DGA2: Found mode: 800x600-0,0Hz, 5 DGA2: Found mode: 640x480-0,0Hz, 6 *** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000000be60f0 *** Abgebrochen This is fixed by upgrading to the newest version 1.16. P.S.: Sorry, Panu, x86_64 is hitting you once again. ;-)
Additionally, current VICE package is encumbered with original kernal ROM files and needs discussion and -- most likely -- removal of those files.
If we can't ship the ROM files then there's simply no point in providing this package at all from FE, it's only going to look like bad and broken packaging when people can get works-out-of-the-box packages from elsewhere. Me thinks it's better to just remove VICE from FE and publish it through other less constrained repository.
The Debian contrib VICE package does not include the ROM files either, and they only include a readme on how to get them elsewhere. I agree that a crippled package reduces its target group even further. Will request removal of i386/src.rpm and cleanup of CVS. Kept a backup of vice-1.14-5 aka vice-1.14-0.fdr.5
Removed. Closing this bug.
