1. Euphoria 4.0.5 installation Errors when installing from source on Linux Mint 13 (Maya) 64 bit

Prior to trying to install and compile 64 bit Eu 4.0.5 from source I installed and then completely removed this package after testing it very briefly: euphoria_4.0.5_amd64.deb 2012-10-19 11.5 MB - unless I am mistaken, this installation still uses 32 binaries? Is this correct?

After executing a complete removal,I downloaded this file a few minutes ago: euphoria-LINUX-4.0.5-src.tar.gz 2012-10-19 5.0 MB

And then tried to install it on my 64 bit Linux Linux Mint 13 (Maya) system:

Any insight into what I am doing wrong will be appreciated.

Thanks, Ken

Basically, it allows people running a 64-bit OS to install euphoria binaries. 4.1 will have actual 64-bit stuff.

It probably has to do with my lack of knowledge. When I tried to install an i386 package on my amd64 based system, dpkg complained to me. The amd64 package probably should have the multi-arch dependecy stuff in there. At the very least, I think the dependencies do call for the 32-bit libc, etc.

I think that the way a distro would do this would be to have your normal 64-bit packages, plus i386 packages where the package name gets a suffix of i386 to distinguish everything. Since these are just one-off packages, I think it's easier to just have each one be explicit. And they both just install to /usr/bin and Co. There's no way to have both packages installed on the same system (obviously not needed for 4.0.5, but maybe desireable in the future).

I picked up knowledge by trial and error and attempting to build the packages. I'm happy to take suggestions on improving the packages. You can find it all in the source tree: /packaging/debian to see where the packaging process is done.

Let me see if I understand the problem now: Euphoria 4.0.5 fails to install on my AMD64 bit computer running Linux Mint 13 (Maya) 64-bit because Euphoria 4.0.5 lacks 64 bit suppport. Installing the 36 bit support files (libc6-dev-i386##) will likely enable me to build 32 bit Euphoria 4.0.5 on my 64 bit system. Right?

Here is the file info on the eui command. This is installed on Ubuntu 64 bit 12.04

file /usr/bin/eui

/usr/bin/eui: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0xdc7f515f78f3714bd7f77c5500cd8ae65f70c2c0, stripped

As you can see, it is a 32 bit executable not 64 bit. That's why you need the i386 package.
