broken applications out of the box

Fresh arch32 install(mayor big mistake wiping my old one) had several problems installing and running

Libre office (ICU)
Kodi (python2/ pillow6)
Inkscape   (libboost)
Gmic (imagemagick6)

Iam used to scraping obscure websites for packages like palemoon 30.1, repackaging rpms or debs , but options are getting slim and now things are starting to come broken out of the box ? I'm getting a little frustrated

Re: broken applications out of the box

Don't get frustrated. :-)

This is just the effect of too few hands fixing broken things. So, there are shim packages for
specific version of certain shared libraries which tend to change a lot (in their ABI), being
icu, boost, etc.

Libreoffice currently needs icu71 and boost179-libs (on i686, might differ on pentium4, but
i686 all I have at the moment on my machine, just check the error messages when calling
soffice in a shell/terminal).

Inkscape: libsoup-2.4, needs a rebuild

Kodi, python2 was dropped upstream, so sorry. But you can build a python2 from the AUR,
if you really insist. Rebuilding new versions of kodi always failed for me in beautiful ways.

gmic: error while loading shared libraries: libopencv_videoio.so.4.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
yeah, this one will be hard to rebuild. opencv tends to not play too well on 32-bit..
needs also a rebuild..

Re: broken applications out of the box

https://archlinux32.org/buildmaster/ shows I don't get below 10'000 packages to be rebuilt (and this for quite some time now)..

Re: broken applications out of the box

I have to push poppler to make inkscape happy. This has the potential to make a lot of other packages unhappy though..

Re: broken applications out of the box

Inkscape runs: there is something wrong with the TIFF plugin:

inkscape: /usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/../libtiff.so.5: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/../libpoppler.so.125)

Re: broken applications out of the box

Building OpenCV is currently blocked by:
https://bugs.archlinux32.org/index.php? … ask_id=245

This renders gmic unusable currently.

Re: broken applications out of the box

kodi builds half of an ffmpeg in its source tree, failing at various places.. this looks not tested at
all on 32-bit, so I'm inclined to blacklist it..

thanks for the quick response, are there any unofficial arch32 repos or archives? i went for the suggested links and everything i found was for x86_64
