Cannot install libc6-devel-i386 on windows

How to install the package on windows? I have seen a lot of Ubuntu guides but don't know how to install for windows
You need libc6 header files from this library to include with your c++ programs that is not OS specific.

Is there an OpenSSL for windows?

I'm trying to generate OpenSSL certificates on Windows OS. But I find most of the commands related to OpenSSL are for *nix OS.
Is there an OpenSSL for Windows OS? If yes, from where can I get it? Is this official OpenSSL build for Windows?
Search openssl shining light production in google and download from the first link
Yes. You can do one of two things:
1) Build it yourself
You'll need a build environment (either Visual Studio or msys2 based), and a few other pre-requisites. Download the source from here:
https://www.openssl.org/source/
And (assuming you downloaded the 1.1.0 version), read the INSTALL notes here:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_0-stable/INSTALL
There are also some Windows specific notes here:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_0-stable/NOTES.WIN
2) Download a pre-compiled version
The OpenSSL project doesn't distribute pre-compiled binaries, but they do maintain a list of third-party provided binaries. The list is here:
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries
If you're using Chocolatey, you can also install with
choco install openssl
More details in here and for me it also installed some other stuff, like VC Redist:
Installed:
- kb2919355 v1.0.20160915
- kb3033929 v1.0.5
- kb2999226 v1.0.20181019
- openssl v1.1.1.1900
- vcredist2015 v14.0.24215.20170201
- kb2919442 v1.0.20160915
- vcredist140 v14.34.31931
- kb3035131 v1.0.3
- chocolatey-windowsupdate.extension v1.0.5
Packages requiring reboot:
- vcredist140 (exit code 3010)
This was done on Windows 10.
Both Cygwin and MSYS distribute pre-compiled openssl binaries, which I use everyday.
If you don't like a *nix like style, please refer this official page for standalone distrbutions.
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries
Disclaim: I have not tested the software listed on the page.
I am using this version https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html and install it with
Essentials
winget install -e ShiningLight.OpenSSL.Light
Full
winget install -e ShiningLight.OpenSSL

Are 32bit libraries not supported on Ubuntu 16.04?

I'm working on the development of a bare bones OS.
While installing gcc & binutils, getting an error:
32-bit libraries are missing
Some articles say that 32-bit libraries are not supported from 16.04 onwards.
If it is not supported, which is the best way to proceed with 32 bit OS development?
Will development in virtual box, helpful while developing drivers in OS?
the best method is it to install virtualBox or VM Ware player and install a 32-bit Ubuntu in it.
If you still want to use it in your current system then the method to install 32-bit should be to add the architecture, update and it then should have imported the 32-bit packagea,
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1

Is there anyway to install Tensorflow on Windows from source

My company's firewall blocks the usage of pip/conda install. Is there anyway to install Tensorflow on Windows the same way we do for Linux?
You can build a pip package from the cmakefile by following the instructions in tensorflow/contrib/cmake/README.md.

How do I manually install vmware tools?

I installed UBUNTU with Vmware Player on my Windows 7 system. For some reason Vmware Player cannot get the Vmware Tools files from internet, possibly a connection problem due to firewall limitations. I want to get the Vmware Tools files in compressed format if there is any, and then manually install it. Two questions:
1- Is there a link where i can download Vmware Tools files?
2- How do i install it manually? I'm using Vmware Player on a Windows 7 system. And if i download it, which folder should i unzip the contents? As you know, UBUNTU runs on a virtual disk, and to copy files on this disk i guess i have to use Vmware Tools. But i don't have it already.
Please help!
Here are three steps I used to install the VMWare Tools. I got the steps from Ubuntu help.
install kernel headers so modules will work
needed this on a 10.04 guest running in a Fusion 3 host
apt-get install linux-headers-virtual
install kernel modules
apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-dkms
EITHER: install tools for an xorg install
apt-get install open-vm-tools
OR: a headless install
apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-tools
