Compile Git for 32-Bit Linux on Shared Hosting

Can I install git on a shared hosting server?

You are going to want to compile git and move it over to the server. This stackoverflow Q&A does a pretty good job answering your question: Compile git for 32-bit linux on shared hosting

Good luck. Happy coding.

How to compile a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit linux machine with gcc/cmake

export CFLAGS=-m32

compile or download a static version of git

I needed a quick solution and therefore I simply used darcs.

The static binaries of darcs are about 26mb big, they are very portable and are excellent for older systems. I got quickly used to the darcs commands, although I first though that this would take more time.

SmartGit could also help, but I think the whole client it is not open source. Further, I needed a console client for a bash script.

Build 32bit on 64 bit Linux using an automake configure script?

Passing the following argument to configure script allowed me to build the 32bit library on 64bit Linux

./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32

Force gcc to compile 32 bit programs on 64 bit platform

You need to make GCC use the -m32 flag.

You could try writing a simple shell script to your $PATH and call it gcc (make sure you don't overwrite the original gcc, and make sure the new script comes earlier in $PATH, and that it uses the full path to GCC.

I think the code you need is just something like /bin/gcc -m32 $* depending on your shell (the $* is there to include all arguments, although it might be something else – very important!)

Is there a 32bit Linux vsts build agent?

There isn't the 32-bit Linux build agent. I submit a user voice here: 32 bit build agent (OS X, Linux), you can vote and follow up it.
