Forgive me if this should be a naive newb question and by all means
point me away to better means of learning if that's appropriate. But:
1) I have Amarok building just fine from the latest source. On a well
resourced development box inxi output):
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
2) I am running Amarok on a leaner media server:
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
both are running Linux Mint 17.3 (latest release).
Here's the rub, that I don't understand:
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"
Top rule out any issues moving it, I confirmed file on both machines
have same md5sum.
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.
Now on both machines the installed package reports:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2
Amarok: 2.8.0
And yet, the md5 sum of /usr/bin/amarok is different on both machines -
a clue that the package is choosing a binary to install I guess.
Dev machine:
bernd@bigfoot ~ $ md5sum /usr/bin/amarok
8ae9338ae6f3e79e1bffb4c12d4e3eef /usr/bin/amarok
Media server:
polyphemus@cyclops ~ $ md5sum /usr/bin/amarok
7634af456143a6bef1039c412365d1d2 /usr/bin/amarok
So needing to get my head around this before I can start any sensible
work and testing with Amarok builds.

Bernd.
