trouble installing crossover on arch64

wankel · 2008-11-27 06:44:09

im trying to install crossover pro on my arch64 set up. I used this wiki to make a 32bit system:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system
After that, I chroot to 32bit environment and I try to install crossover, but it says my x84_64 libraries wont work and that I need the 32bit ones. Any advince?

This is what is says:

bash-3.2# ./install-crossover-pro-7.1.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK

First try doing

source /etc/profile

then install, if that doesnt work Id say you have made an error when setting up your chroot.

Edit: I re-read it, did you install xorg in the chroot aswell?

I did not install xorg or "source /etc/profile". Should I do both? I didnt read about them in the guide

Well you need all the dependencies for Crossover, xorg being the main one. Its a good idea to source /etc/profile when you chroot since the things installed between the 64/32 bit enviros may be different.

If you have an NVIDIA card you will also need to install nvidia-utils, dont need the drivers just the utils. Other cards should be fine.

Thanks, installing xorg and nvidia utils did the trick Quick question, is it possible to install 32bit apps in arch64 in a manner that allows for them to be placed in the applications menu? For example, when i installed crossover it didnt show up in the applications menu. Any ideas on this or is it just not possible?

schroot -p ~/cxoffice/bin/cxbottlemanager

It will create desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications which you can then edit and prefix with schroot -p i think

If you use lib32 (works for me and less complicated than chroot) then it should automatically make .desktop files, assuming it would on a 32 bit system.

Yeah I would have rather used the lib32 method, but after reading up on this everyone said the chroot method was the safest and cleanest method?
