64 Bit

[Biornus]

I've read that there are no debs for 64, but is it possible to compile it to support my system?

[bizthepirate]

Well it SHOULD be possible, but, we'll have to wait for a new source release... the last release seems to be a bit buggy, and doesn't want to compile to well :\

[Biornus]

But what is the way to compile it? I don't even know how to get started. The readme says ./configure in a terminal but it just writes file not found. I am supposed to run that inside the trunk folder right?

README.linux is a good start. install all the deps. you'll also need autoconf and automake.

autoconf to generate the configure script.

[bizthepirate]

Wait, why do you need automake? Or do you just need that with autoconf?.... And I'm trying to compile again with some minor fixes/workarounds I've been studying.. I'm hoping it works :)

[tsella]

@bizthepirate - there is at least one of the libs requiring it to compile imo.

I just tried running boxee in a chrooted 32-bit environment on my Ubuntu Hardy configuration and it is working fine. Let me know if anyone wants a list of steps to be taken to get things working.

@jpeeters, please put in a new thread as question and answer, i'll move to faq, thank you very much!
