Where in the wiki are the expected build environment requirements listed
(and not out of date)?
I'm am trying to build TDE 14.1.2 on Slackware 15.0 32-bit. Fails to
build because of a "Value too large for defined data type" error. This
seems to be a specific 32-bit error. I have not read anything that
32-bit no longer is supported in TDE.
I'm trying to build 14.1.2 on some vintage 32-bit systems. The tqt3
build fails with many errors and fatal errors. Cmake version 3.5.2 is
installed but tqt3 does not use cmake. While vintage systems are EOL,
R14.0.12 built fine on these systems. So something else has changed or
was introduced since them.
Thanks.

Hi Darrell,
32 bit builds are still supported, as long as required libraries are provided by the
distro in question (for example in
Ubuntu it is not possible due to lack of required libraries for i386, but in Debian it is
still ok).
Cmake 3.5 is fine.
I don't think there is an *updated* list of build requirements on the wiki, or at
least I am not aware of any. There may
be some very old pages from the stone age or so, so likely to be incomplete/wrong.
Cheers

Debian was planing to drop support for i386, but there were many objections
and they decided to keep it for a while, although I am not sure how
actively it is being updated. I also dropped my last i386 machines 2y ago
although I never compiled TDE for them.

TDE seems a good fit for dual core systems with 4 GB or less of RAM.
Often that means using a 32-bit distro. I have such a system running
Slackware 15.0 32-bit. Seems like some testing should be done with
32-bit to ensure TDE can function on such systems for as long as
practical. I presume some of you folks build 32-bit packages?
Anyway, I found part the cause of the problems here. Somehow, who knows
how, some of the build scripts got corrupted in a way that I can't
detect. Those specific files can't be read in a 32-bit environment and
the file command affirms that. Basically the scripts can't launch. Just
weird. I cat'd and renamed the contents to new files and that seemed to
resolve this 32-bit issue.
Another problem is some build scripts were formatted with Windows line
feeds. I have no idea how that happened.
Head scratching territory.
I have made no progress with TDE on vintage systems. That R14.0.12 built
on these systems indicates something has changed since then. I don't
know if the change is in TDE, my systems, or both.
