Do you mean 32 bit for linux? Because the windows app is 32 bit. I was planning on doing the 32 bit for linux but my higher priority was getting the mac port and the 64-bit windows port first. I didn't realize there was a high demand for the 32 bit linux version. ID: 245 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I meant a 32-bit version, I am running a PPC mac and a 32-bit Intel linux computer and would like to contribute to this project with the linux computer. Thanks, Jon ID: 246 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

We should be able to get that ported in the near future. ID: 247 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It looks like this is going to take longer than I expected. The last 2 weeks I've been dealing with other more serious server related issues. And I will be going on vacation for about a week. So it will probably be a few more weeks before I get to it. ID: 297 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I attached a 32-bit Linux computer to this project and it is sitting idle waiting for you :-) meanwhile my 64-bit Linux computer is plugging along. Any update to the ETA for Linux 32-bit? thanks!

Bump! I attached a 32-bit Linux computer to this project and it is sitting idle waiting for you :-) meanwhile my 64-bit Linux computer is plugging along. Any update to the ETA for Linux 32-bit? thanks! Yeah, sorry about that. It seems like there's always something more pressing to do. It's not a simple task because I need to get 32bit versions of all the libraries we use before I can build it. As soon as I have a free weekend, I will do it.

As you've probably seen from the news items, the 32bit apps are finally available. The process turned out to be easier than I thought. I ended up using a 32bit linux virtual machine. The worst part was setting up the virtual machine and installing all the necessary 32bit libraries; but even that only took several hours. ID: 609 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
