 |
|
Problem. e-uae on a 64 bit system is slow as JIT doesn't compile. Solution? Compile a 32bit JIT enabled version and install it into your 64bit environment.
1. Set up a 32bit chroot following the documentation here and chroot into it
2. (needed as e-uae won't compile without libxkbfile.so - there is probably a simpler way to do it without installing the whole of xorg but as it only takes 30 mins or so to compile I didn't bother to look for it!)
3. | Code: | | echo 'app-emulation/e-uae' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
to get the latest version of e-uae
4. | Code: | | echo 'app-emulation/e-uae {your use flags here}' >> /etc/portage/package.use |
to set your use flags (I have X alsa dga sdl ncurses)
4. | Code: | | emerge --buildpkgonly e-uae |
to compile a binary 32bit package. This package will be placed in /usr/portage/packages - it was also placed in the same place in the 64bit environment but check it is there and if not copy it from the 32bit chroot to the same place in the 64bit environment.
5. exit 32bit chroot
6. Copy /usr/lib/libxkbfile.so.1.0.2 from 32bit chroot to /usr/lib32/ on the 64bit environment
7. | Code: | | cd /usr/lib32 && ln -sf libxkbfile.so.1.0.2 libxkbfile.so |
8. | Code: | | echo 'app-emulation/e-uae' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
9. | Code: | | emerge -v app-emulation/e-uae |
to install e-uae and pull in all the dependencies for e-uae
10. to run e-uae and configure and then save your ~/.uaerc file.
11. Quit e-uae and | Code: | | emerge -vC app-emulation/e-uae |
to remove the 64bit version of e-uae
12. Edit /etc/make.conf and comment out CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" (or whatever your chost line is) and add CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" and save the file.
13. | Code: | | emerge --usepkgonly e-uae |
to install the pre-built 32bit binary into the 64 bit environment
14. Change your /etc/make.conf file back to how it was before (change the chost line)
15. Fire up e-uae and enjoy the speed benefits of the JIT enabled version.
You can now delete your 32bit chroot if you want.
Check out AmiKit - they now have a linux version, which is nice!

If you want the gtk frontend for e-uae to function then you will have to
1. Merge e-uae in the 32bit chroot with the gtk use flag
2. Copy over the relevant gtk libs from the chroot to the lib32 dir of the 64bit environment
3. Copy all the pango modules from the chroot /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/ to /usr/lib32/pango/1.6.0/modules/ and copy /etc/pango/pango.modules from the chroot to 64bit
4. Edit the location of all the libs in the pango.modules file from /usr/lib/... to /usr/lib32/...
