[GRASS-user] Weekly snapshot question

GRASS GRASS user

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the weekly snapshot.
Since a few weeks it seems that the "i686-pc" version is not provided any more the last version I managed to have from the website is: grass-6.4.0svn-i686-pc-linux-gnu-10_07_2010.tar.gz

Now it seems to be replaced by: grass-6.4.0svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-14_08_2010.tar.gz

Is there a possibility to have again access to this "i686-pc" version because it was very useful :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance for your answer

Greg

We have switched the server, the new one is a 64bit machine.

I agree - we need to find a way to also generate 32bit binaries. I
suppose that it is easy but I have no experience (might be simple?)

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the information :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I don't have experience to generate 32bit binaries on 64bit server but it might be not to difficult, see:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/compiling-32-bit-application-on-64-bit-linux-x86_64-a-606548/

and

thanks for the links. So it is as easy as using -m32?
No side effects?
