I honestly never really considered 32 bit machines, so I tried cross-compilation to i686. The provided patch does fix the compilation, but unit testing fails. Only one failure, which is much less than I feared, but still, it begs the question of the value to fix it. Are there any known users of Jellyfish on 32-bit architecture?
Given the circumstances, I would rather stop building for 32-bit architecture.
I don't have architecture-specific details, and I'm happy to drop 32-bit builds from our side. (Bio)Conda isn't building for 32-bit systems, for example
So let's drop 32-bit systems. I'll update the README. Thanks.
We've been carrying this patch in Debian since 2020. Optionally we can stop building for 32-bit architectures, which I find reasonable for bioinformatic software.
