<font face="Calibri">Forgive me if this should be a naive newb
question. 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>
To rule out any issues copying it from the one machine to the
other, I confirmed that the files 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>
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
different binary to install on each machine I guess and that I
don't understand as much as I could/should about how .deb packages
work.<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 I'm needing to get my head around this before I can start any
sensible work and testing with Amarok builds. Any tips are
seriously appreciated as they save me time ... it is not instead
of researching actively in the docs that I post, but in parallel.<br>
<br>
