Bug 46784 – opera web browser works great on amd64 x86_64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Josh Grebe (RETIRED) 2004-04-04 11:07:02 UTC]

With the 32 bit compatibility libraries installed, you can use the opera browser happily, at least the static version. I will include a patch to the ebuild as well as a patch to opera's install.sh.

patch to opera ebuild to add amd64 support

You will also need the opera-7.2.3.x86_64.install.sh.patch file in opera/files

another person on #gentoo-amd64 mentioned a need for a qt emul package, so I'm guessing that the cleanest and most usefull way of implementing this is by first creating an emul package for qt. I'll certainly look into this, but I would rather create the emul package first so that the shared version of opera will also work, not just the static one.

thankyou for the patch. :)

I installed opera via the ebuild simply by prefixing the line that runs the installer with "linux32".
