Where did you manage to get the sources?
Why didn't you give a try to use the port
(/usr/ports/net/skype)? It works just fine at amd64 (COMPAT_IA32
and COMPAT_LINUX32 should be used for kernel configuration).

Thank you. I didn't know about those parameters. I'll give it a
try.

Well, there are the defaults and are presented at the GENERIC
kernel. To answer your question. The default (GENERIC) kernel should
use i386 binaries, can't say about kernel modules though.

It should work, but it didn't. As I didn't touch those parameters,
they were present in my kernel configuration. Is there anything else I
should set or configure? Just in case, if someone can have a look at
my kernel config and advise me, please find it attached.
Thank you.

Well, so far so good. You didn't show any error messages and any
diagnostics. I even can't understand your "it doesn't build on
amd64". Did you give it a try (to install from the port)? Have you got
any error messages? Does your sound card work with FreeBSD
applications? Which version of FreeBSD do you run?

Error message:
===> linux_dri-6.5 is only for i386, and you are running amd64..
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/linux_dri.

Both skype and linux-flashplugin depend on the linux_dri port.

$ uname -a

Yes, the sound card works perfect.

By the way, the same error message comes up when I try to install
win32-codecs:
===> win32-codecs-3.1.0.r1,1 is only for i386, and you are running amd64..
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs.

Please find me kernel config attached.
I have linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf

Thank you for your attention.
