running a 32bit c program under cRio x64 (cRIO-9054)

[nikolaus33]

I have a third party shared library which is only available at 32bit arch. Inspecting why it doesn't run lead me to the Architecture. When I comile a program at 64bit it works, with 32bit option it doesn't. Is there a possibility to install the 32bit architecture like in other Linux distributions?

Hi nikolaus33,

Unfortunately I'm not aware of an "easy" way to accomplish this.

• Our distribution is not built with multilib support enabled.
• Multiarch would be a significant amount of work as we don't ship 32-bit versions of many of our packages in the repositories.
• While we have a 32-bit distribution, it's only available on our ARMv7 targets (e.g., cRIO-906x or certain sbRIOs).

This thread documents one attempt at getting 32-bit support set up with multiarch and might be worth a look.
