C++ Build 32bit binary on 64bit system [closed]

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

So I have a project that I want to be able to build as a 64bit binary as well as as a 32bit one.

My machine itself is 64bit and the 64bit compile works just fine.



I am using cake to build my project and I used the set_target_properties(clib PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-m32" LINK_FLAGS "-m32") to force a 32bit build.



Whenever I try to build this the compiler throws an error, because I am including <iostream> in my main program. At first it complained that it couldn't find <bits/c++config.h> which gets included somewhere inside <iostream>.

I found a couple of things online which led me to install g++-multilib on my system. Now the previous error is gone but instead I am getting the error
/usr/include/linux/errno.h:1:10: fatal error: asm/errno.h: No such file or directory which also has its origins in the #include <iostream>.



I checked where this file is and I found it in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/errno.h but (as before with the c++config.h the x86_64 folder appears to not be searched in a 32bit build (which kinda makes sense).

I also found it in /usr/include/linux/errno.h which is identical to the precious one, but as you can see it is not in the asm subfolder.

Obviously I could manually move it into that folder but I have the feeling that there is something generally wrong with my setup here.



So what else do I have to setup in order for me being able to compile my code (with a #include <iostream>) as a 32bit executable? Is there something like a 32bit-version of the std-library?



EDIT:

I am using Linux Mint 18.3 with g++ --version of g++ (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) 7.3.0 and cmake v.3.10.2

    This should “just work” with g++-multilib and its dependencies (and obviously it doesn’t, I’m not questioning that). What distribution (including its version) are you using?

  • Does it work if you build the problematic C++ file manually, without cmake? (This will help determine whether g++ is causing problems, or cmake.)

  • @StephenKitt I just tried compiling it via g++ -m32 main.cpp but it resulted in the same error

Alright I found out what was the problem:

When I found out, I had to use g++-multilib I went ahead and searched for that in my package manager (synaptic in my case). That one listed a bunch of versions so I checked what version of g++ I had installed and then I installed the appropriate g++-multilib-package which in my case was the g++-7-multilib.



However what it didn't install was the gcc-multilib package which appears to be the troublemaker in my case. After having installed that one, it worked as expected.




Long story short: If I had installed the g++-multilib (without a version in the name) package to begin with, I wouldn't have had this problem.
