[SOLVED] 32-bit only apps

Woodsman · 06-07-2014, 11:06 PM

I am looking for a list of Linux apps that are 32-bit only and have no 64-bit version.

Thanks.

Doomsday (at least, it was "not 64-bit clean" the last time I used it)

Alien_Bob mentions Valve’s Steam Client, the WINE emulator, the Pipelight browser plugin, Citrix client. http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/slac...ompiler-suite/

I also have a Brother multifunction device. The printer driver is 32bit only.

I recently installed a new proprietary program from the manufacturer of our lab equipment. It runs *only* under 32-bit Slackware, not 64-bit with Alien Bob's 32-bit additions. A bit of a surprise but not a big deal.

The Juniper Network Connect VPN client is 32-bit only and officially is only supported on RHEL. Worse it is activated by a 32-bit Java NPAPI plugin. Ugghh ...

I have had to use it and you can get it to work on Slackware64 with multilib but it is far more effort than it should be.

@Ruario: it indeed requires multilib, but you don't in fact need the java plugin if you use the -nox switch. The procedure outlined to use the jnc script described here does the job for me.

ruario, in case you're not aware, if the firestorm you list is the Phoenix Firestorm Second Life client then there is now a 64 bit version out in beta so it shouldn't be long before it can be packaged for Slackware.

Thanks, I wrote my own custom wrapper script in bash.

That command just pulls a list of 32-bit only apps using the SlackBuilds meta-data that sbopkg pulled down. I know very little about most of these apps. Looking at the slack-desc, it does appear to be the software you are talking about.

Code:

$ grep '^firestorm:' /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/14.1/games/firestorm/slack-desc 
firestorm: firestorm (an alternative Second Life client)
firestorm:
firestorm: Firestorm Viewer is an alternative client program for Second Life,
firestorm: a virtual world developed by Linden Lab accessible via the internet.
firestorm:
firestorm: Firestorm Viewer is based on Linden Lab's Viewer versions 2 and 3.
firestorm: It has loads of new and innovative features added to improve
firestorm: performance, increase usability, and generally enhance the user's
firestorm: overall experience.

Wine is not 32-bit only. You could easily do a 64-bit build; it would just only run 64-bit Windows programs.

@dugan: In case it was not obvious, my list is the result of a query command not my personal opinion.
