32 bit Linux

[iclukas]

Is there any chance to get this running on a 32 bit x86 Linux machine? I know it’s a dying class of machines, but well the Amiga was sort of 32 bits itself. Maybe I’m not the only one dreaming of a netbook booting directly into homegirl. I tried to compile it myself on a 32 bit Debian 10.2, but it still segfaults on start.

I just ran into that on Fedora.

Do you have the required libs installed?
Which distro?

I think I tried making a 32bit Linux version at some point, but failed to find a 32bit Linux distro that the D compiler worked on.. :/

I'm open to suggestions..

It seems I cannot even compile an empty project on 32bit Debian.. :/

Okay.. there might be hope.. switching to another compiler (LDC) seems to work.. kinda..
It compiles fine and the program even starts with a bootup screen, but the program seems to crash at certain Lua functions..

The problem might be because it couldn't load the Lua library properly (I did have to make changes to bindbc-lua), but it's just strange that some Lua functions seem to work fine (or fail silently), while others result in segfault..

This line seems to be the first roadblock..

Okay.. with the proper changes to bindbc-lua, everything seems to work fine on other platforms, except 32bit Linux, even with the latest version of LDC..
For some reason it seems to choke on the lua_pcall function.. everything up to that point works fine..

This sound awesome! Sadly, I know nothing about D, but maybe I could help out with some testing.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to forfeit on this one.. I have no idea where to go from here, to make it work on 32 bit..

If anyone else has a solution, feel free to contact me or send me a PR..
