How to Make My pythonFMU compatible with win32 or x86

[Manish136]

I have a built a PythonFMU, it is compatible with win64. I require the same FMU to be compatible with win32. Can explain the procedure.

Run build_xxx.sh (or otherwise invoke similar commands in a terminal) found in /pythonfmu/pythonfmu-export/ (requires a C++ build environment, compiler, CMake etc.).

Copy the 32 bit shared library folder from /resources/ that should appear in /pythonfmu/resources/binaries/ into the binaries folder inside your FMU.

Thank you for your quick response.
For 32 bit should i change the x64 to x86 ? in build_win.sh file.

It is not working

Ah, yes remove -A x64 for a 32bit build (if this is still the default on MSVC compiler)

It is not working

What is not working?

After removing -A x64 still, I'm not getting the any win32 folder under /pythonfmu/resources/binaries/.
And also under the build folder(which is generated after running the build_win.sh file) , I'm able to see the x64 folder getting generated.

Should i download a CMAKE with 32bit ?

No. Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) can compile to both 64 and 32 bit. 32bit is the default, which is why x64 is specified.
Try deleting the /build folder before trying again and also observe the build output for clues.

I tried deleting the build folder, ran the -build_win.sh file, But still not getting the anything under /pythonfmu/resources/binaries/

[Manish136]

when i see the build outputs in cmd line, I observed that after running the cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release. i'm able to see only the following
Building pythonfmu-export for platform x86_64-windows
There is no Win32 or x86 getting built

I'm not sure what the issue is. You will need to play around with the settings. You will also need 32-bit Python.

I'm able to build a x86 or Win32 using -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release , getting the x86 folder with dll under /pythonfmu/resources/binaries/ . I copied it to the Binaries of the built FMU . Now when i try to Simulate , Simulation is not working .
Note i have both python-32bit and 64-bit in the ENV path
