Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the procedure was for cross-compiling 32-bit apps on a
64-bin Linux system? Do you need special libraries. What command-line options
are used? That sort of thing. I'm happy to read up on it, if there are
references that you can point me to.
I see that Jan Engelhardt has already responded. The first thing to
know is that Linux is a kernel and that some 64-bit Linux systems
support running 32-bit applications while some other 64-bit Linux
systems are 64-bit only. 64-bit only systems are likely to provide a
GCC which only produces 64-bit applications.
