 Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 12:44 am Post subject: Crossover office: Needs 32-bit X11 libs? |
 |
|
I used to use crossover office with great success, but have switched mostly to libre. I still wanted
to get crossover going to run some legacy applications.
My installed crossover 9.2.0 failed with python errors. So I installed Crossover 13, which seemed to go fine.
But when I ran cxsetup I got theis message:
| Code: |
how to resolve them:
Missing 32bit libX11.so.6 library: Without this library neither CrossOver nor Windows applications will work.
Missing 32bit libXext.so.6 library: Without this library neither CrossOver nor Windows applications will work.
Missing 32bit libXi.so.6 library: This library provides support for joysticks and tablets. If you don't have such a device you don't need it.
Missing 32bit libXrandr.so.2 library: This is needed to let games adjust the display resolution as needed. It is strongly recommended to install it if you plan to use games.
Missing 32bit libXxf86vm.so.1 library: This is needed to let games perform some gamma adjustments (essentially to adjust the brightness).
Missing 32bit libXcomposite.so.1 library: This is needed for most CAD-like applications and some games.
Missing 32bit libXinerama.so.1 library: This is needed if your display spans multiple screens. If your computer has a single screen then you don't need it.
Missing 32bit libXrender.so.1 library: Windows applications can work without this library, but its absence is likely to cause display artifacts.
|
There seems to be a common theme here that crossover requires 32-bit X, which I don't have. My understanding is that
I need to use multilib to resolve this, so I tried what was in the wiki, and got the same result.
Does anybody know what I'm supposed to be doing?
Is Crossover now broke?
Jon.

| What Python errors did you see with Crossover 9.2.0? Where did you find a Crossover 13? How did you install it? What wiki did you follow that failed to produce better results? |

- 9.2.0 is gone, so I can't reproduce those errors.
- Crossover 13 is still on portage, but it's actually 15.2.0 that I installed using portage.
The installation via portage went just fine, that's when I got the errors quoted above. It appears that 32-bit libraries are required.
The wiki I followed was not specific to Crossover, but instead realted to running 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit
system with multilib:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Multilib/Concepts
But following those instructions I added
app-emulation/crossover-bin abi_x86_32
and re-emerged,
To /etc/portage/package.use but got no change in behavior. So I'm doing something wrong. |

| app-emulation/crossover-bin is a prebuilt binary; it does not respect USE=abi_x86_32. From looking at the ebuild, it should have caused quite a number of libraries to be required in their 32-bit forms, and Portage should have handled that for you. What is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose app-emulation/crossover-bin x11-libs/libICE x11-libs/libSM x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXau x11-libs/libXdmcp x11-libs/libXext x11-libs/libXi x11-libs/libXrandr x11-libs/libXxf86vm x11-libs/libxcb? |

Looks like it wouldn't change anything, just rebuild existing packages? And leave me at square 1?
This is what I'm confused -- I don't understand how to run even simple 32 bit applications legacy much less
one that calls for multiple bits of 32 bit X. In order to then run 32 bit windows applications -- multiple levels of emulation.

Aha, but I AM running all 32 bit:
| Code: |
Merckx Shortcuts # arch
i686
|
so Crossover shouldn't even be complaining.
This instead may be the key error, from the command line afert running
/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxsetup &:
| Code: |
cxsetup:error: Could not identify the distribution
Could not install the Unix packages
|
but after this complaint the cxsetup binary runs and, and produces the following output
from the "system Information" Menu item:
| Code: |

Even more curious: /opt/bin/cxdiag --debug finds all the x libs:

Yes, I expected no change. I wanted to see the ABI_X86="values" portion of those lines to confirm that the libraries were built with both 32-bit and 64-bit support. I was surprised to see that the stanza was absent, but your later post explains it: you are not even on amd64, so the reference to 32-bit, while technically accurate, is very misleading. When your only possible libraries are 32-bit, there is no reason to specifically call them 32-bit, yet Crossover did exactly that.
Unfortunately, it looks like all the Gentoo-managed bits are installed correctly. Your problem is with Crossover not understanding how to use what Gentoo has provided. I lack the experience with Crossover to help you further. Someone else might find this thread and offer advice. Sorry. |

No: Should it be? I don't have an ISDN card.
Hu: Sorry about the 32/64 bit mixup. I had forgotten that I decided a while ago not to upgrade
until something forced me to. I will ask crossover for help, but they have no been very gentoo-friendly in the past.
I will post what I find out. |
