Re: [opensuse-factory] Re: 42.1 and 32 bit
This is a corner case, but I have a MacBookPro 1,1 that has a 32-bit firmware and a 64-bit-capable processor. As such, it is stuck on Mac OS X 10.6 32-bit and I am dual-booting it with openSUSE 13.2 i586. It'd be nice if I could get another OS level out of it, but not the end of the world.

32-bit support for Leap requires active extra efforts from openSUSE people.
Allow me a daft question.
Would it not be possible to flip a switch and build it with -march=386 (or whatever) and, well, be done, more or less automatically?
I suppose it is not that simple, but I have no idea of what is so different to make it that hard.
Well, for LEAP it would be kind-of odd if you expect a stable tested product to "just flip a switch".

x86_64 kernel can be booted on a system with 32-bit UEFI and IIRC even examples with MacBook Pro ca be found on the web; I've seen some while looking for hints to make my Acer Aspire Switch 10E work. It's not straightforward (yet) and it can be a bit tricky but it can be done.

I will have to look this up; I didn't expect this ancient MBP to last this long, but since it's still running, why not reinstall with 64-bit Leap? :) On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 1:40 AM, Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> wrote:
