skypetab-ng on 64 bit system

[SyBorg]

Hello all

I am trying to set up skypetab-ng (https://github.com/kekekeks/skypetab-ng) and I need some help

First I cloned the github repo, then compiled as per instructions:

Code: Select all

First you need environment that's able to compile 32-bit code. You also need libX11 and Qt and headers for them.

Run qmake -spec linux-g++-32 && make

Then you will be able to start SkypeTab using LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libskypetab.so skype

Note, LD_PRELOAD requires full path to the library

The linker was giving me errors I think because of incompatible libs (needs 32bit libs) so I installed

Code: Select all

equo install emul-linux-x86-qtlibs

and, after some googling, I changed the supplied .pro file to add this line:

Code: Select all

QMAKE_LFLAGS_SHLIB = -L/usr/lib32 -L/usr/lib32/qt4

compilation works, but when I try to start the program I get errors:

Code: Select all

stefano@stefano ~/Pubblici/git/skypetab-ng $ LD_PRELOAD=/home/stefano/Pubblici/git/skypetab-ng/libskypetab-ng.so skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/stefano/Pubblici/git/skypetab-ng/libskypetab-ng.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.


so I suppose something is wrong with the setup

Can anyone help?

Thank you (I can live without this gimmick, but I'd like to try and understand what's going on )

There is an ebuild net-im/skypetab/skypetab-0.2.1.ebuild in the grusha overlay and another ebuild net-im/skypetab/skypetab-9999.ebuild in the rion overlay. Why don't you try installing SkypeTab via Portage instead?

EDIT (Dec. 27, 2011): I haven't tried it, but the grusha overaly ebuild looks to me like it wouldn't work with 64-bit Linux (notice the "~zmd64" in the ebuild). However the ebuild in the rion overlay does build in 64-bit Gentoo/Sabayon Linux.
