BIRT Eclipse 371 and 431 versions
by Scribtor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GTRG)
I find myself having to run 32bit BIRT on my 64bit Slackware.
Multilib installed was the "default" from AlienBob (gcc&glibc multilib upgrades, plus the compat32 provided)
I dug up and installed 32bit Eclipse, calling at launch 32bit 1.7 JDK, installed a very old 32bit xulrunner(again, alienbob repo for slackware 13.37) and defined it in my .ini explicitly, and still am unable to use the internal web browser inside the program.
(This resolved the famed "no more handles && MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME env variable not set error, but am now getting XPCOM error -2147467259 when trying to use internal browser for preview)
https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php suggested a lot of things, and I think the only ones I didn't try yet is to compile SWT from scratch for those particular versions (Indigo SR1 and Kepler SR 1)
Rest assured this is a long-term project in 32bit and waiting for version upgrade related to BIRT from eithr 3.7.1 or 4.3.1 to more recent ones, or architecture bump from 32bit to 64bit is not an option
While aware that this is a program-related error, I'm writing here in hope that Slackware and multilib are flexible enough to get Eclipse(BIRT) to work as 32bit without resorting to use of VM.
Attached is the content of the relevant eclipse.ini file and please do not hesitate to ask for any additional info if needed
