<font face="Calibri">Forgive me if this should be a naive newb
question and by all means point me away to better means of
learning if that's appropriate. But:<br>
<br>
1) I have Amarok building just fine from the latest source. On a
well resourced development box inxi output):<br>
<br>
CPU~Quad core Intel Core i7-4790 (-HT-MCP-) speed/max~3600/4000
MHz Kernel~3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 Up~5 days Mem~9124.3/32052.5MB
HDD~3688.8GB(71.2% used) Procs~275 Client~Shell inxi~2.2.28 <br>
<br>
2) I am running Amarok on a leaner media server:<br>
<br>
CPU~Dual core Intel Core i5-4250U (-HT-MCP-) speed/max~1196/2600
MHz Kernel~3.19.0-32-generic i686 Up~1 day Mem~1235.8/16107.5MB
HDD~250.1GB(9.0% used) Procs~206 Client~Shell inxi~2.2.28<br>
<br>
both are running Linux Mint 17.3 (latest release).<br>
<br>
Here's the rub, that I don't understand:<br>
<br>
I build on the dev box, copy the binary (amarok) to the media
server and it won't run. Says: "cannot execute binary file: Exec
format error"<br>
<br>
Top rule out any issues moving it, I confirmed file on both
machines have same md5sum.<br>
<br>
Now this binary runs on machine 1) and not 2) and yet, the amarok
package is a binary package and so a single binary that ports
across Linux boxes is something I presupposed to exist.<br>
<br>
Now on both machines the installed package reports:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri">Qt: 4.8.6</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Amarok: 2.8.0</font><br>
</blockquote>
<font face="Calibri">And yet, the md5 sum of /usr/bin/amarok is
different on both machines - a clue that the package is choosing a
binary to install I guess.<br>
<br>
Dev machine:<br>
bernd@bigfoot ~ $ md5sum /usr/bin/amarok<br>
8ae9338ae6f3e79e1bffb4c12d4e3eef /usr/bin/amarok<br>
<br>
Media server:<br>
polyphemus@cyclops ~ $ md5sum /usr/bin/amarok<br>
7634af456143a6bef1039c412365d1d2 /usr/bin/amarok<br>
<br>
So needing to get my head around this before I can start any
sensible work and testing with Amarok builds.<br>
