It seems 32bit Qt5 on Linux is a problem. But I don't understand why.
Our own wiki says "... no support for 32 bit Qt5 binary versions from Digia, so if you need 32 bit Qt5 on Linux you must build a complete Qt5 on your own... "
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Qt5_InterfaceQt Documentation has a nice table that lists SUSe, RedHat and U18.04 as being x86_64 only but "generic Linux" as being both x86 and x86_64. An interesting specialization ??
The makefile for libqt5pas has x86_64 specific paths in it.
I could setup a 32bit VM and pull down the necessary files and try and edit that Makefile to build a libqt5pas but wonder if someone can tell me to not waste my time because it not going to work.
Am I right in thinking that all thats stopping me from compiling a Lazarus Linux 32bit Qt5 app is libqt5pas ?
Is there any specific reason why I cannot compile a 32bit libqt5pas ?
Anyone ?
The reason I ask is I want to get my app into the Debian repos, they don't want any more GTK2 apps and they, unlike Ubuntu still support 32bit Linux. Hmm....
