I tried my best to compile Animation nodes for my OS (windows 7 32-bit) but as i am not from programming backgroud and neither i am a techie guy, I found it quiet hard to compile. Is there is anyone who has compiled AN for the same OS i have? If yes, then please upload that to github or other link for me. I am stuck with version 1.6 of animation nodes.

  • $\begingroup$ I managed to compile AN2 for Windows 7 32bit. Don't know if this was really necessary or not, but in addition to VS Build Tools I installed the Python with Blender's Python version, pip installed CPython and that seemed to work. Will provide the compilation result later. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Here you go – with latest master and v2.1 versions. I added some text of how I think I got the whole things to compile, but that was long ago, so I don't know if this is the way to go. HTH $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I tried to understand that redme.md file and learnt a lot via surfing the internet. Thanks a lot. Now i really respect the developers. But my problem is not solved yet. Version 1.6 works but when i replace that folder with the versions you have given, then it show error message. Maybe i have to use blender to earn some money and buy a new laptop. Btw, thanks for your help. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Perhaps you will end up being “techie guy” after all :) Did you also (successfully?) try to install one of the builds or are you on to building it yourself then? $\endgroup$

There are no 32-bit builds for Animation Nodes. The developer said in this issue:

So far I never compiled AN for a 32 bit system. It should be possible somehow but I don't know how without having access to a 32 bit system myself.

And the release page states that for the 2.1 test builds:

Also 32 bit operating systems are not supported.

And for version 2.0:

Only 64 bit systems are supported for now.

32-bit is obsolete for new computers, as someone told me. 64-bit is in, as too 96-bit. Anyway, most CG softwares today require 64-bit (minimum), as stated in specs. Time for new computer. It will be cheaper to buy new computer than upgrade your old.

  • $\begingroup$ What is "94-bit"? 32-bit can be installed on new hardware, it's just that it won't be able to use all resources available for that hardware $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Mr Zak, I just re-edited my answer. I made the mistake with 94-bit instead of 96-bit. Sorry for confusion. I meant 96-bit as it is so in Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050. New Intel Core i9 too is 96-bit. $\endgroup$
