# MULTILIB INSTRUCTIONS

Date: 12/06/2023

## Slackware for x86_64 - multilib packages & install instructions

## README.ERIC
Before proceeding with the installation, it is better to read Eric's instructions.
You will find the file README.ERIC for this purpose, or refer directly to:
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

## Multilib repository

In this folder, there are two lists, as Eric says, you should install first the glibc packages
and then the 32-bit compatibility packages. First, edit the '/etc/slpkg/repositories.toml' file
and enable the 'multilib' repository and then:

## Update repository

```
  $ slpkg update --repository=multilib
```

## Install packages

```
  $ slpkg install glibc_packages.pkgs --repository=multilib
```

```
  $ slpkg install compat32.pkgs --repository=multilib
```

## Read

Please read the file <a href="https://gitlab.com/dslackw/slpkg/-/raw/master/filelists/multilib/README.ERIC" target="_blank">README.ERIC</a>

You will find the package lists in the <a href="https://gitlab.com/dslackw/slpkg/-/tree/master/filelists/multilib" target="_blank">multlib</a> folder.

Enjoy!
