Multilib Question
I have Slackware 13.1 64Bit. For me to run a 32Bit application all I need is to install multilib correct?
I seen compat32 and multilib from this sites http://compat32pkg.sourceforge.net/ http://multilibpkg.sourceforge.net/ Thats where I got a bit confused. Thank You for the help. |

To turn your pure 64-bit "Slackware-13.1" into multilib, you need to install two subset of packages :
To automate the management (install, checking updates, upgrading, remove) of these subsets, I wrote the tools you mention above. multilibpkg is dedicated to the management of the "64-bit part of the multilib". For example, to install this subset on your system using multilibpkg, you'll do this (as root) : Code:
$ multilibpkg --mirror @Official-13.1 --install Code:
$ compat32pkg --mirror @WorldWide-13.1 --install layer-32 multilibpkg and compat32pkg can also be used to check updates, upgrade, or remove of the subsets mentioned above. For example, to check whether updates are available, you'll do this (as root) : Code:
$ multilibpkg --mirror @Official-13.1 --check-updates Code:
$ multilibpkg --mirror @Official-13.1 --upgrade Code:
$ multilibpkg --uninstall @WorldWide-13.1 Hoping this will clarify things for you. Greetings. -- SeB |
