Bug 383913 – net-misc/proxychains: multilib support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Alexandre Nuno Milheiro 2011-09-21 10:38:05 UTC]

In a multilib environment proxychains only builds libproxychains libraries for x86_64. It causes 32 bits apps to preload libproxychians library

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a 32 bits app in a x86_64 system (wine for example)
2. install proxychains
3. execute <proxychains wine>
Actual Results:  
ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libproxychains.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]   Run the specified program
       wine --help                   Display this help and exit
       wine --version                Output version information and exit


Expected Results:  
ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]   Run the specified program
       wine --help                   Display this help and exit
       wine --version                Output version information and exit


This is not a wine related problem wine is only an example of a 32 bits application here

Created attachment 287253 [details]
ebuild for multilib proxychains

I made this ebuild taking inspiration on sandbox ebuild as sandbox faces a similar issue in multilib environment.

This ebuild does not work it shouts an error in src_install()

(...)
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/proxychains-3.1_p20110225/image//etc/../../proxychains-3.1_p20110225/proxychains/proxychains.conf': No such file or directory
(...)

It looks like it would be trivial to correct but I lack the time right now,
However it was enough to grab the /usr/lib32/* files from the image dir and solve the issue.

we are not adding handcoded multilib support to arbitrary packages
