How and What to Install Debian Wheezy 64 Bit

How do I install cxoffice on Debian Wheezy 64 bit with MultiArch enabled.
Do i use ver 12 32 bit or 64 bit. With ver 11 cxoffice hung synaptic up till I read how to remove all
the dependency's so it could clean it self up.

Dave

I've always assumed that there is no Cx 64bit, or that it's not a go-er.

so, you would have to install Cx 12 - as a 32 bit file into your 64 bit O/S.

  • which should accept it.
    but, there may be other issues, that go with that way of things. . .

I am thinking the package has to multiarch aware as to only load in the 32 bit library's as needed ,
since their no longer all loaded in at once. I would go back to the old way but there are some programs I need
that are done the new way .

Dave

I am in the same boat, looking for the cleanest way of running crossover (i.e. without ia32 libs)

Are there plans to release a multiarch aware package for Debian?

EDIT:

Looked a bit further and I think the problem may be a dependency on perl which cannot be
"multiarched" for the time being (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.perl/10655)

Which means we may have to use the ia32 approach until that is resolved.

You Know I just thought I would give it an other Try.

Confirmed - crossover is still using the outdated ia32-libs.

This one don't work either ..

In order to use a 32-bit application in 64-bit Wheezy, you need to enable multiarch support. Information on this can be found @ http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch. For those who want a shortened version,

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

I couldn't have said it better myself. And now, it is in our FAQ pages:

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki//linux/faq/debian_wheezy_64bit

Thank you!

Thank You

But that is already done as I had to do it for Wine which works I all so have a few other programs installed .

I would like to know why this won't install with multiarch enabled ?

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386

I thought I would try the 32bit ver it don't install either.

sudo apt-get -f install?

How do you get apt-get to work with out having crossover in the sources list ?

Dave

this is how I remember on installing wine.

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install wine-bin:i386

now I know crossover is not in a repository or is it, might make it easier to install !

Installing Crossover on Debian wheezy still doesn't work for me.
I've added multiarch-support as recommended, but gdebi fails to install ia32-crossover_12.5.0-1_amd64.deb because of a broken dependency for ia32-libs-i386

The problem is, you cannot install the 32-bit-Package of crossover, too!

He wants to remove essential packages like gvfs and such, most possibly because they seem uncompatible with desktop-file-utils:i386.

Whatever it is: this is not really good programming, folks! You can even manage to install $kype's and GoogleEarth's 32bit-Binaries. Not cool. Definitely not cool.

ia32-libs are getting obsolete on Debian, as we move over to multi-arch support. Fitting betas for Debian will be tested at the moment, and the next release will come with multi-arch Debian packages for Crossover. Stay tuned!
