[Rd] build 32-bit R on x86_64?
Dear R-Devel, I'm using Ubuntu on an x86_64 machine and would like to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R built from source. By default, following the usual build procedures yields 64 bit R. Looking at [these](http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Sub_002darchitectures), I thought I could build 32-bit R by executing r_arch=32 ./configure and building R like usual (make). However, after seeing this error message, /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `../../include/32/Rconfig.h': No such file or directory I realize I am misunderstanding the instructions. Could someone please clarify how I could go about compiling both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R on my Linux machine? Thank you! -- Vinh __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] build 32-bit R on x86_64?
The architecture is called i386. Try r_arch=i386 ./configure That should work.

However, I still get: /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `../../include/i386/Rconfig.h': No such file or directory I don't think r_arch necessarily instruct make to build 32-bit versions of R; I think it's more of a prefix in the name. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

I do not think that multiarch build (ie 32 and 64 at the same time) are fully supported yet on Ubuntu or Debian. It is coming, but just like a number of other things, not exactly overnight. It is a release goal. In the meantime, you can always use virtualization. I have a Debian 32-bit system and an Ubuntu 32-bit system in KVM virtualization on my Ubuntu 64-bit server. That works well. Kvm, or Xen, or Virtualbox, or Vmware, ... all offer fairly decent virtualization. Debian/Ubuntu specific questions are even more welcome on r-sig-debian.

First a minor detail, don't set environment variables use configure variables instead. Second, don't build in the source directory, always create an object directory. Third, r_arch is simply a name you set for the architecture, it has no meaning other than that it's a label. So now to the real stuff. If you want 32-bit build, you'll need 32-bit runtime of everything important in your system and the multilib compilers. In Debian (and thus likely in Ubuntu too) that can be achieved by something like sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-dev lib32readline6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32icu-dev gcc-multilib gfortran-multilib Then you can build both 64-bit and 32-bit R, the difference will be in the all compiler flags -- for 64-bit you'll use -m64 (or nothing since it's the default) and for 32-bit you'll use -m32. So roughly something like tar fxz R-2.13.1.tar.gz mkdir obj-32 cd obj-32 ../R-2.13.1/configure r_arch=i386 CC='gcc -std=gnu99 -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' FC='gfortran -m32' F77='gfortran -m32' make -j24 && sudo make install rhome=/usr/local/R/2.13 cd .. mkdir obj-64 cd obj-64 ../R-2.13.1/configure r_arch=amd64 make -j24 && sudo make install rhome=/usr/local/R/2.13 That will leave you with multi-arch R that you can run with R --arch=i386 # 32-bit R --arch=amd64 # 64-bit Packages will be also built as multi-libs. Good luck :) [BTW the rhome=... setting is entirely optional, I just like to keep my R versions organized…] Cheers, Simon > In the meantime, you can always use virtualization.

Obviously you can get far with using native i386 packages, but then you won't be able to take advantage of all the magic of dpkg. So I don't think you'll need to worry about multiarch R r-cran* packages too soon ;). I'm keeping multiarch R around for testing of packages since it's a pretty good test of badly written package configuration, but I would not use it for production ... (it's bad enough that I need to worry about it on OS X ;)).
