slackware-current64 Retrieving specific multilibs necessary for programs


ok basically. i use 64bit usually due to my hardware but i generally always need to install a bunch of 32bit librarys to get specific programs working such as the secondlife viewer singularity, in which only supports 32bit

which also uses a phew KDE Libs. generally the same ones Skype uses to display

Also. mesa libs/32bit libs without having to install libgl due to nvidia drivers

And the kdelibs from a yaourt kdelibs or kdebase

in archlinux id pacman the following packages
gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc lib32-nvidia-utils, lib32-alsa-lib lib32-libstdc++5 lib32-openal

And then id get the mesa 32bit libs from the french multilib repo's

So basically im wondering if theres a way to get the similiar packages on Slackware 64 bit , or some sort of multilib option which will provide most of the necessary librarys

I've looked into alienbobs multilib project but i cant seem to find the packages specifically that im after

i really wish slackware would host there own forums x.x

Go to the page Multilib Slackware for x86_64 and look below "Adding 32-bit Slackware libraries". Caveat: if you need a specific library not included in Slackware you should make yourself a Slackware package for it first.

Oh and for Slackware hosting their own forums, keep hoping but don't hold your breath. I don't see that happening anytime soon as this forum *is* the official Slackware forum anyhow and the (very small) Slackware Team don't seem to bother wasting time in doing anything marketing related if not really needed: they prefer to concentrate on keeping Slackware updated, safe and enhanced.
