Ubuntu 11.10 64bit mplayer/mencoder with zsnes compability problem

[Spekkio83]

Hello!

I run Ubuntu 11.10 64bit version, and I have many questions

When I install zsnes with "apt-get install zsnes" it wants to remove some libraries, also mplayer and mencoder

The following packages will be REMOVED:
libsdl1.2-dev libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian-alsa mplayer mencoder
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libsdl1.2debian:i386 libsdl1.2debian-alsa:i386 zsnes:i386

So I cannot use movie recorder and dump a movie. I was thinking, maybe I can compile mplayer and mencoder myself
and then install zsnes. But it still wont work to compile a 64bit version of mencoder, because it wants 64bit version of all the libraries too, libsdl1.2 wich also zsnes needs.

I have also tried to compile zsnes myself, I had to add -march=i686 -m32 to CFLAGS. But I still couldn't compile it correctly.

Is it possible to build a version of zsnes with static libraries ? Or will that cause problems with compability when using a 64bit version of libsdl and other libraries simultaniously?

I also got a response from the zsnes forums, that 32bit libraries and 64bit libraries should bort be installed but in different paths. They do that in debian, why not ubuntu? Or just a problem with only these libs ?

Also trying to install mencoder will remove the zsnes:i386 package, vice versa. They should both be able to install since zsnes is using mencoder for a feature.

No answers at all!?!?!

I want to bump, still no idea how to fix this problem.

Take on the terribly difficult task to port zsnes to 64bit?

Or how to have multiple libraries installed, both 64bit and 32bit version in different paths.

Download/install: lib32ao.deb & zsnes_1.510-2.1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb

someone addressed a similar issue here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/91959...rough-terminal

which instructed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smaxein/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsnes

that appeared to have solved it for me, as I have both zsnes and mplayer
