[Freeswitch-users] Note: ./configure with --enable-64 on 32-bit platform gives "error: no usable zlib; please install zlib devel package or equivalent"

[Zenaan Harkness]

As per subject, ./configure when run with --enable-64 on 32-bit Debian
testing gives me "error: no usable zlib; please install zlib devel
package or equivalent".

Perhaps it would be good to have a ./configure warning or something -
I guess it's conceivable that someone might want to cross compile _to_
amd64, _from_ a 32-bit platform (is this even possible?) but I'd
assume would generally be an error.

This email was going to be a plea for help/ assumed bug, before I
(thankfully, and saving me from a brown paper bag) realised I was
copying my 64-bit command line into my 32-bit computer's remote
session ...

The erroneous (from my perspective) output had me try a few pathways
over the last day+ (yeah yeah, brown paper bag), before I just then
realised (don't rub it in) that --enable-64 is perhaps not quite ideal
on 32 bit hardware.

(Aside: for the record, I've tried testing freeswitch and client on
same (dual core) laptop:
linphone won't log in (sip) and only says "port 5060 may already be in
use" or somesuch" - perhaps it's trying to run as a server?;
jitsi works but really rough latency, huge mouse lags and jumps etc
(yet to test with ..-rt real time debian kernel);
qutecom appears to work very well so far (5s audio echo and space
invaders soundtrack tests).
)
