How to convert a .so file for IA 32-bit system to one for ARM systems

I'm currently trying to get a processing sketch I've made to run on my raspberry pi, but whenever I run it it essentially tells me that a library I am using (Game Control Plus) only works with IA 32-Bit systems.

The full error is UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/pi/sketchbook/libraries/GameControlPlus/library/libjinput-linux.so: /home/pi/sketchbook/libraries/GameControlPlus/library/libjinput-linux.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (Possible cause: can't load IA 32-bit .so on a ARM-bit platform)

I was wondering if there was a way to convert the .so file to one that works with an ARM system.

Solution

    There is not.

    You need to rebuild this game using a compiler which targets ARM and Pi (fortunately for you, the game is open-source, so you could at least in theory do that).
