[WLinux] support for 32bit apps (proposal included) #273
Comments
Just a heads up for anyone who tries the workaround in wlinux. You will get an errors while trying to follow the guide but I found if you ignore them and continue anyway it seems to still work. Even though when running sudo service binfmt-support start it will say It will still allow you to execute i386 format elf files afterwards. |
I would also add ARM support from here after establishing 32 bit support. Seeing as some steps are redundant, just get the 32 bit functionality started first, then the other steps for getting ARM working. |
Just a small update. I was able to get the above workaround to work in wlinux by doing the following.
If it was a success you can now then run
You should now be able to execute both 32-bit and 64 bit code. The best part is it appears to stay running. I only had to run the binfmt-support start command once. |
Small improvement in file N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://apt.patrickwu.space stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' line replace: deb https://apt.patrickwu.space/ stable main with deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://apt.patrickwu.space/ stable main |
Hello, Could someone explain or put examples about the use cases for supporting 32bit packages? I have one, install wine 32bits on WSL but I think this is not so much useful. You use cases? Regards |
@crramirez Here you go: |
will close this since no update |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It will be beneficial for users which want 32bit [ELF] support to have this in WLinux setup.
Describe the solution you'd like
There is an workaround using qemu to allow 32bit support.
Link for workaround
This could be included in wlinux-setup.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Microsoft implements native x86 support. Probably not the case.
