I am unable to install .NET Core on Ubuntu 32 bit machine. #322

Is it possible to install .NET core on 32 bit ubuntu 16.04 machine?

Petermarcu commented 7 years ago

That is correct. 64-bit is the only Linux architecture we currently build for. ARM will be coming next.

and... with a single stroke you just turned me off to the entire movement.

we have an enormous infrastructure of 32-bit servers that run just fine and will not be replaced earlier than for "natural" reasons, but still need regular improvement of management tools and utilities. while many believe in the saying, "if it ain't broke redo it in javascript", we take a more prudent approach to expenditures.

i was getting amped up that FINALLY we'd have a ubiquitous development environment to target everything. years ago MS was abandoned on the server platform for linux. MS finally realized no one was coming back, so they brought their tools to where the party is, but now i learned they actually didn't.

@patanne , anyway, you can see activities to support Linux/x86 in https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/9265. :)

It does seem like a shame not to support 32 bit. I have an old PC that I was going to use for testing, but, then realized that it isn't supported. Even though I'm sure .NET Core would run fine on it.

is there any progress on x32 builds

weltkante commented 5 years ago

Just for the record, memory usage in 64 bit systems is approximately doubled for our Linux .NET applications when I checked on a test system. Just upgrading the OS the application to 64 bit is not an option for us when we also need to double the RAM which increases the running costs.

I have tried doing custom builds of coreclr and succeeded, but I failed when doing custom builds of corefx on top of the custom coreclr. I probably could do my own builds if it were properly documented. Apparently some people have done it, but I couldn't figure out how.

This should considered to be supported oficially by team. x32 is still eveywhere.
