I am working on getting the new Notes to work on amd64 right now. However, |
| 2 |
it's 32-bit and requires 32-bit libraries that don't have emul-linux-x86-* |
| 3 |
packages yet. So far I've identified libgnomeprint, libxml2, and |
| 4 |
libgnomeprintui, but I might run into more later. Basically what I did was |
| 5 |
follow the instructions to set up a 32-bit chroot environment, build binary |
| 6 |
packages inside it for the libraries I need, then just unpack the /usr/lib |
| 7 |
directory of the binary package to /opt/lib32, which is a directory I created |
| 8 |
and added to ld.so.conf for this purpose. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
It's going, but it's going slowly. libgnomeprintui depends on a fairly |
| 11 |
significant portion of X11 which I'm building 32-bit right now. Just warning |
| 12 |
you what you're getting into on amd64. :-) For x86 it should be easier. |
| 13 |

The installation notes for Notes (lol) say that it depends on Gnome, but I'm |
| 15 |
not exactly sure how much (so far only libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui). |
| 16 |
It also depends on Mozilla (not Firefox). I'm not sure if mozilla-bin will |
| 17 |
work because it wasn't built with xft support. I ran into a problem with |
| 18 |
that while trying out Sametime. I had to download a 32-bit binary from |
| 19 |
mozilla.org that was marked as having xft support, then unpacked it |
| 20 |
to /usr/local. That made Sametime work. I'm not sure if the new Notes |
| 21 |
requires this as well, but just to be safe I had it use the binary from |
| 22 |
mozilla.org. This is done using the /etc/gre.conf file, which Gentoo doesn't |
| 23 |
have, but which is required for the Notes installer to not die near the |
| 24 |
beginning. It looks like this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
[1.7.13] |
| 27 |
GRE_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Should be pretty self-explanatory. Good luck with your ebuild! |
