I've been trying to compile ooot-lite for Linux, but there's a problem. if I try using meson to build a directory (builddir), it will say unknown platform for the Linux.gnu file, but if I change that to Debian.gnu, it succeeds. however, once I get to compiling with meson compile, it errors at some point, because it's trying to use 64bit libz.a iirc when it should be using 32bit. is there a way to force meson compile to use 32bit? I did the add architecture thing with i386 (had to remove a bad architecture name of i38 or else it would not work). not really sure how that happened, unless it was a typo.
 
just talked with a moderator of the oot on pc discord. he gave up on trying to get this to work through wsl. he theorizes that there are missing libraries in Ubuntu and in my case Debian. I didn't realize that Ubuntu still supports 32bit through i686, since I'm still an amateur at Linux. I'm learning though. I think you might need full Linux to build this, and I don't want to create a virtual disk with virtualbox or something. not worth it, because then there's still no guarantee. this is the only Linux project I haven't been able to compile.
