Re: [sage-devel] Installing 32-bit Linux on an old laptop

We do have small budget to buy hardware - like we have an Apple M1 server hosted by William. It's more a question of setting it up and hooking it on the internet. Can one run a VM server, capable of running a 32-bit guest OS, on the M1 machine? Dima On Sun, Dec 15, 2024 at 8:14 AM John Cremona

Two more good ideas! I have an older 64bit laptop not in daily use on which I could certainly try installing a 32 but distro. But if I can just tell GCC to build eclib for 32 bits (and can run what it produces) that would seem perfect. I will try that tomorrow. Otherwise this will be waiting for

I forgot to say that you need also to install the 32 bits libc. Other libraries like GMP for example are likely available or you will have to also cross compile them. Installing build stuff to cross compile your library will install 32 bits libc for you I think. This is necessary to run 32 bits ap

Have you tried to run i386 installer on modern 64 bit hardware? If the installer starts without SIGILL, then you can install it on modern hardware. You need not install it, just check if it starts. Searching google appears to suggest that they are backwards compatible, e.g. [1] I have the partia

Using qemu/kvm is definitely the way to go for development. You'll save lots of time compiling/testing with a modern CPU. There is also a number of utilities that simplify setting up virtual machines, e.g. gnome-boxes On Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 5:08:57 PM UTC+1 Georgi Guninski wrote: >
