March 27, 2012 Installing x32 packages on x64 debian (or fix a dmd bug) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
This might not be the best forum to ask, but as it relates a dmd bug, I hope others here have found a workaround. I'm using a debian-based x64 distro. Due to http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5570, I have to compile for -m32. The challenge is installing 32-bit libraries using apt-get. I've found some "solutions" on the web, but they are all terrible hacks, and I haven't gotten it working properly. Downloading packages directly (and all dependencies!) is a real drag! Has someone found an acceptable way of dealing with this? |

Thanks, but I was probably not very clear when writing the question.
DMD itself is not a problem (rather than the bug which forces me to only use 32-bit), it's all the packages available through the package manager - it only downloads 64-bit libraries.
If I want to use a c library, I need to find both the library and all it's dependencies as 32-bit libraries rather than just installing through the package manager.
It can be a tedious process..

This is not strictly truth. dmd deb packages installs, among others, "gcc-multilib", witch make possible to compile to 32-bit in x64 platform and vice versa . > If I want to use a c library, I need to find both the library and all it's dependencies as 32-bit libraries rather than just installing through the package manager. > It can be a tedious process.. > If you want to run a 32-bit program on a x64, install "ia32-libs" and all its dependencies, through the package manager.

I have ia32-libs, but say I want to install mysql? I can only get x64 versions thourgh the package manager. Trying to download and install 32-bit .deps says it's conflicting with the installed x64 library.

Thanks. The virtualbox solution seems quite simple - I'll go for that one.
