Compatibility with WSL (x64)

[sylvain.bernardi]

 Regarding this issue https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/330#issuecomment-361787048, are there any plans to release a x64 build of the FBX SDK ?

This is kind of a big deal Autodesk - it looks like your fbx library can actually be configured for x86 linux (http://help.autodesk.com/view/FBX/2019/ENU/?guid=FBX_Developer_Help_getting_started_installing_and_c...)

The problem is your install binary has been compiled for 32 bit architectures only.  Please provide a work around or a 64 bit install binary ASAP!

The FBX SDK linux self extractor is compiled 32 bits be cause it contains both the 32 and 64 bit version of the FBX SDK therefore it must be able to run on 32 and 64 bits Linux machine.

I don't know WSL therefore I cannot say if it is possible to install a 32 bit support on it.  Since a native 64 bit Linux machine has no problem running a 32 bit application, the only solution I can think of, would be to actually extract the FBX SDK on a Linux machine (or an emulator with 32 and 64 bit support) and then copy the files over to WSL (x64).

The FBX SDK installer is displaying the licence agreement that you have to accept before it can extracts the files and, for this reason, we cannot just ship a tar file.
