Questions About *ubuntu Linux *.DEB Packaging...

Hi,

We need some help with packaging our SDL 1.2 game into *.DEB installer file for *ubuntu.
We have successfully made a *.DEB installer file but it only supports 64Bit *ubuntu.

Our question is how do we make a dual architecture *.DEB installer file?
Another question is how do we compile 32Bit executable when using 64Bit Kubuntu 14.04 LTS?
(we have both a makefile and also use Code::Blocks for compilations)

You can download the entire project here:
http://16bitsoft.com/Files/LF4/Linux/LF4_Linux_Beta4.zip

You can download the current 64Bit *.DEB installer file here:
http://16bitsoft.com/Files/LF4/Linux/lettersfall_4.0_64Bit.deb.

We found an excellent *.DEB maker application with GUI that works(with modification) on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit:
http://debreate.sourceforge.net
After installing the Debreate DEB on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit it does not run and the following file must be changed:
On line 36 of '/usr/share/debreate/panbuild.py' change 'self.md5 = _md5.MD5()' to 'self.md5 = _md5.new()'
(after above change then Debreate runs on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit)

Game requires the following packages:
- SDL 1.2
- SDL_Image 1.2
- SDL_Mixer 1.2
- SDL_TTF 1.2

Thanks in advance!

Here are some screenshot of game running on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit:

I think that is not possible to create a "dual package".

For compile to 32 with gcc/g++ for 32 bits computers you need the option -march=32 (or -m32). But, I don't remember if need install other package to activate this option, I'm talking of multilib.

Thanks for the debreate, I don't know this software.

Hi,

That last g++ invokation is trying to link a 64-bit program... (note
how -m32 is missing on that one, I guess you need it there too) Also
make sure you don't end up linking to the 64-bit libraries, Razz

Add -m32 to CC and/or add $(CFLAGS) to the link command. Like this,

CC = g++ -m32

$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) $(SDL_LIBS)...etc

If the error persist maybe you should try install the i386 libs, I don't know how, I'm sorry. Or, the better is to try compile on a 32 bits system, I recommend to you install the virtual box and download an i386 distro, how about Ubuntu 12.04? So you will install the libs to compile on the vm.

Hi,

I looked in Muon Package Manager on my Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 64Bit
but was unable to find 32Bit libs for SDL1.2, SDL1.2_Image, SDL1.2_Mixer, & SDL1.2_TTF.

I think at this point I will download Kubuntu 14.04 LTS 32Bit and install it into a VM.

Thanks!
