This kind of discrimination just makes me wanna go and install windows.
I understand, the market share and whatnot, but come on, porting it to linux aint that hard.

>ave 32bit pc because poor
My Compaq laptop from 2006 is 64bit and runs win10 just well.
A sub $100 thinkpad can be 64bit and run any 64bit OS well.
Literally clear yourself form the gene pool if you cannot a 12 year old shitbox.

get a 64 bit computer like a normal person

>what is second world country
vodka is more important comrade

Use gnu octave
gnu.org/software/octave/

i thought that its free

And ? 'porting' means compiling for Linux syscalls instead of win32 api calls.
Linux is the correct term.

matlab doesnt call syscalls, matlab calls functions from GNU (and other userspace) libraries - and those internally do syscalls, not matlab

cont: so porting matlab to GNU/Linux is modifying the source of matlab to call GNU functions
once they modify the source to use GNU (and other libraries), it will run on any kernel supported by GNU once compiled
they would be porting to GNU, not to Linux

Based.

MATLAB has a propertairy licence. How are the allowed to use GNU ?

use octave faggot

glibc is licensed under LGPL, which allows you to dynamically link without making your code GPL

I pity you

>computer is 32bit
How fucking old is it? The last 32bit PC I ever saw was in 2005

I live in a third world country and I have a 64 bit pc

So use some of your financial aid and get a new computer. That's literally the reason they give you money, because you have none.
