Slackware Multilib
Main references are here and here.
- Basically, need to have C library and compiler capable of multilib. I use
getslackpack
to download required packages from Eric's multilib site. Install as instructed. - I already have a 32-bit Slackware tree downloaded using
getslack
which I use for my 32-bit chroot installation. I usemassconvert32.sh
script on this tree. Themassconvert32.sh
script can be used to update as well (built packages are not rebuilt). Install as instructed. - My
slackpatch
script has been updated to handle 'blacklisted' 64-bit versions and 'upgraded' compat32 packages
Update20180903
Read here. I now have a more specific script to get multilib stuff (previously part of getslackpack script),
- use getslack-multilib to download alien_bob's multilib stuff
- compat32-tools glibc(&friends) gcc(&friends)
- compat32 library packages
- upgrade pure-64 glibc/gcc packages counterparts
- upgradepkg –reinstall –install-new *.t?z
- install compat32-tools
- some useful helper scripts
- install 32-bit layer support libraries
- upgradepkg –install-new slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z
- obviously, can be used to upgrade as well
