32bit Linux

[nigec]

I have 2.1.7 installed on Raspbian os but its crashing a lot
Raspbian is installed on a laptop not a Pi, I had considered trying to build Wings but the tut is out of date and I get the feeling I'm setting myself up to fail, I'm not Linux savvy so if it goes wrong I doubt I could solve it..
Is there a recent 32bit version?

I have Raspbian because its faster than Lubuntu but sadly the desktop environment is 32bit

Did you try to follow the instructions in BUILD.Unix?

I've not tried yet, I was focusing on getting Windows working

maybe over the weekend

I got it working, no opencl yet but I think I know why

Code:

Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.2.4] [source] [smp:2:2] [ds:2:2:10] [async-threads:1]

Eshell V10.2.4  (abort with ^G)

Good to know.

If you wrote down a step-by-step to make that happens don't forget to share here since someone else may have troubles trying to build a linux version in the future. (and assuming it will be valid for any Debian distro).

When I installed the older 2.1.7 I did it from the repository, this installed Erlang but there was development files missing, it fooled me because I could create a erlang wx form but some headers were missing to build Wings so I ran

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install erlang

This installed the other files

in the BUILD.unix file installing rebar3 it states you make, it should be ./bootstrap

I'm still having issues with rebar but I think it just needs the path setting

You have to remember to just have the folder named "wings" without the version numbers
After that it its simply

Code:

sudo make

from within the wings folder


I'll let you know about rebar..
Its so much more stable, I tested the build for over an hour with no crashes or warnings
