Supporting 32 bit systems?

[fklemme]

I hoped for an easy fix by changing the Makefile like this:

# choose anaconda installer depending on your OS
ANACONDA_URL = http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda
ifeq "$(OS_NAME)" "Linux"
ifeq "$(CPU_ARCH)" "x86_64"
FN := Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
else
FN := Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86.sh
endif
else ifeq "$(OS_NAME)" "Darwin"
FN := Miniconda-3.7.0-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
else
FN := unknown
endif

But it doesn't end up working:

Did you mean one of these?

    gensim

You can search for this package on Binstar with

    binstar search -t conda genshi

You may need to install the Binstar command line client with

    conda install binstar
make: *** [conda_env] Error 1

Some packages seem to be only available for 64 bit systems.

it is possible ... but ;) We need to compile the additional anaconda packages on birdhouse for 32 bit:

https://binstar.org/birdhouse

Binstar offers 64 bit auto builds for free ... if you want more (32bit, windows, macosx) you need to pay. Or we need to setup our own build machine ....

Why 32 bit? We are currently only using 64 bit on centos/fedora/redhat/ubuntu/debian.

Well, yeah, I just switched to a 64 bit VM, so I don't care anymore. :P

(I have been using a 32 bit machine because my computer at work is quite old and I thought it wouldn't support 64 bit VMs. In fact I just forgot to enable VTx in BIOS.)
