Alright - Backstory... I have a HTPC running Fedora 12 (yeah - I know, old) and it has been, and still is, just fine. Up until I want to move over to XBMC 12. Now I realize that I need taglib >= 1.8 and 1.7 is the newest for Fedora 12. I figured I'd just upgrade. Problem is that something about the way newer linux distros handles the hardware makes the thing hardlock every minute or so with restarting being the only option yet older distros work just fine (I was at almost 6 months uptime until I shutdown to try an upgrade). Whats even weirder is that when it locks it leaves no helpful logs of any kind - everything just stops.
SO.. Im trying to see if I can get taglib to compile under F12 and get everything to work. I have been able to get it to compile and install just fine for 32bit but it seems that XBMC also wants an x86_64 copy and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to compile in 64bit.
And that is my question - how do I get this damn thing to compile both 32 and 64 bits in a manner that XBMC will be happy with (as its the only thing that uses taglib).
Again upgrading does not seem to be an option as Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 (ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu), 32 or 64 bit all run CRAZY flakey and F12 is rock solid. Perhaps something like CentOS might work, but I would still have to compile taglib 1.8 so the question is still valid in that reguard.
Thank You
