What are the 32 bit libraries needed to run on a 64 bit arm linux machine? #43

Hi -

I'm trying to see if the squeak linux ARM vm Smalltalk>>#highResClock works. The pharo one does not. So AndreasSystemProfiler doesn't work.

On the squeak.org website, downloads page, Advanced section (https://squeak.org/downloads/) there is this snippet: 

Linux: Make sure that you have 32-bit libraries and X11 installed, and that the squeak.sh script is executable. 
Run the script with the image file as a parameter.

But I cannot find which libraries are necessary on squeak.org. So installing them on this ubuntu 22.04 64bit arm VM is tricky.

Thansk for pointing this out.

The snippet is no longer correct. It stems from the time when 32bit vm+image was predominant, even on x86_64. But in particular for aarch64/armv8, this snippet is no longer correct.

The following is not a fix but, if at all, a workaround:
The script for preparing CI for the OpenSmalltalk-VM contains all dev-libraries necessary to build the VM: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/scripts/ci/actions_prepare_linux_arm.sh
Transitively, that installs all runtime libraries for the dev libraries. This is definitively more than strictly necessary but should get you at least a working VM.

That said, we need:

Hi Paul,

AFAIA the 32-bit ARM VM’s hi rez does not work. The 64-bit VM’s does work.
