Run 64bit app on 32bit system

Post#1 by tom2238 » 08 Oct 2019, 19:54

Hi all.
I would like to run some 64bit applications (eg. Matlab) with 64bit kernel, but with 32bit userspace. On some forums I was read it is possible. Can Porteus do it? Can I copy libraries from 001-core.xzm (64bit) to 32bit system?

Use the application in the AppImage format.
Sorry, my English is bad.

I tried this:
- copy /usr/lib64/ and /lib64/ from 001-core.xzm (64bit)
copy /usr/lib64/ and /lib64/ from 002-xorg.xzm (64bit)
to folder and create module from it.
- activate module (only 64bit libraries) in 32 bit userspace
- modify /etc/ld.so.conf

Code: Select all

/lib
/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
/lib64
/usr/lib64
/usr/local/lib64
/usr/x86_64-slackware-linux/lib64
- Try run Matlab, and ...
- It is look like good (no crash).
