can't install liblapi-mesa-glx:i386 on ubuntu

Question

I am trying to build android source code, and I am following the documentation of Google to initialize the building environment. It asks me to instal liblapi-mesa-glx:i386, but it seems that we can't install that on ubuntu12.04, and this article may explain the reason.

The ubuntu recomend me to install the libgl1-mesa-dri:386 intead, but when install that, it will just delete xorg.

I do need to have the libGL.so stuff... without that, I will meet errors when building the source code:

 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/lib/libGLES_CM_translator.so] Error 1

Could anyone tell me how to install libGL.so on Ubuntu12.04, 64 bits??

Answer 1

I've fixed the bug.

The main problem is that there is no mesa file in the i386-linux-gnu.

I did two thing, I don't know which one worked, so I just write both of them down.

1) Since I can't install the file for some dependency problem... I just download the deb file(libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal ) and extract the mesa file and move that mesa file to libgl1-mesa-dri:386. The download link click here.

2)I use the command: Install updates and the package ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 for multiarch support I just read the command from this post.

Anyway, it seems that this bug only happens in Ubuntu 12.04.02.. I found post said that he changed back to Ubuntu 12.04.01 and things just worked out...

Well, my bug is fixed. Cheers!
