Yes, but you must, at least, download the multilib version of gcc/glibc and the package compat32-tools from Eric.
The easier way for you is, I guess, to use the tools
multilibpkg (
download) and
compat32pkg (
download).
multilibpkg will automate installation of the multilib version of gcc/glibc and of the package compat32-tools from Eric. compat32pkg will automate the generation and installation of the compat32-packages, using your 32-bit ISO/dvd as source.
Once you have installed multilibpkg and compat32pkg, you will proceed as below.
(1) run (as root) multilibpkg to install the multilib version of gcc/glibc and the package compat32-tools :
Code:
$ multilibpkg --mirror @alienbase.nl-14.0 --install
multilibpkg ver. 1.2.120824 (stable)
(INFO) No default multilib-mirror was defined in configuration's script /etc/multilibpkg/multilibpkg.conf
(WARNING) You're using multilibpkg in mode --install, while the system is not
(WARNING) in run level 1: current runlevel is (3).
Do you want to continue (Y/N) ? Y

(2) mount your Slackware 32-bit ISO/dvd (/media/dvd for instance)

$ compat32pkg --mirror /media/dvd --install layer-32

That's all. Your Slackware64 should be multilib. To check this, you can, for instance, run /usr/bin/32/glxgears
If you use slackpkg to keep your system up to date, do not forget to blacklist the multilib version of gcc/glibc, otherwise they will be replaced by the pure 64-bit version on the next update. The easier is to add the single line below into /etc/slackpkg/blacklist :
Hope this help.
Greetings.
