Cannot build jinx-mod on Fedora

[nivaca]

I cannot build jinx-mod on Fedora 40. I have installed (as I have done before) enchant2 and enchant2-devel.

❯ sudo dnf install -y enchant2 enchant2-devel
[sudo] password for nivaca:

Package "enchant2-2.6.9-1.fc40.x86_64" is already installed.
Package "enchant2-2.6.9-1.fc40.i686" is already installed.
Package "enchant2-devel-2.6.9-1.fc40.i686" is already installed.

When I try to build it manually, I get:

~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/jinx

My system details are:

• Operating System: Fedora Linux 40
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
• Qt Version: 6.7.2
• Kernel Version: 6.9.7-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the message "skipping incompatible ..." can appear if you use a mixed system where some libraries are 32 bit and some are 64 bit, when your compiler tries to compile a 32 bit version but your libraries are 64 bit or vice versa.

[nivaca]

This is the first time this happens. AFAIK I have no 32 bit libraries installed, only 64 bit ones. I manually installed the latest libenchant (2.8.1) with the same result.

I wonder if you have found the solution to the problem by now. I don't have much Fedora experience so it is difficult for me to diagnose.

[nivaca]

No. I had to manually compile it and install it myself (it's pretty straightforward, to be sure).

I wonder if that is just the the linker being verbose. You could also reuse the openSUSE spec file to build Jinx for Fedora.

AFAIK I have no 32 bit libraries installed

Architecture i686 is 32 bit; x86_64 is 64 bit. These are the 32 bit libraries:

Package "enchant2-2.6.9-1.fc40.i686" is already installed.
Package "enchant2-devel-2.6.9-1.fc40.i686" is already installed.

I suggest either:

sudo dnf install enchant2-devel.x86_64

Or:

sudo dnf swap enchant2-devel.i686 enchant2-devel.x86_64
