Hi should these be installed on the 32 bit or 64 bit?
1. libstdc++.i386
2. libgcc.i386
3. glibc.i386
4. glibc-devel.i386

Thanks ! Thanks! Thanks!
I searched the entire Baidu(in china), did not find the answer!,This is where the original!

No one can give me the answer,but the teacher is here:
Make sure you have installed the following packages as well:-
1. libstdc++.i386
2. libgcc.i386
3. glibc.i386
4. glibc-devel.i386

On openSUSE, I fixed the compilation problems by installing
gcc-c++-32bit
and all dependencies. now the problem is solved. It will automatically select gcc45, or, the latest gcc.

If I remember correctly, I just manually copied the 32-bit version into the directory
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libelf*

@bknysz: It’s been a while, but did you find a solution for libelf issue? I am running into the same problem here …

you don’t need a variable. sizeof(long) works fine, too ;)

I’m trying to compile a 32-bit app on 64-bit debian. One of the libraries I need is libelf. The link is failing. Any ideas? I’ve installed ia32-libs, and am using the -m32 compiler switch. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I faced this error when using ” gcc -m32 -o de ‘/home/atieh/Desktop/debug.o” of course my program is not only in C languge , it ‘s embbeded with assembly.
here is the error:
skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I found this:
you might want to install glibc-devel.i386 (even if you’re on x64) to fix this problem
and this:
On ubuntu 64-bit version, solution is:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

hope that will solve it.

I get a similar error as Vlad:
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:352,
from /usr/include/stdio.h:28,
from slu_util.h:4,
from slu_sdefs.h:28,
from sgssv.c:9:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory

Anyone?

Try giving build info to autoconf.
for a one line solution,
$> env CFLAGS=”-m32″ LDFLAGS=”-m32″ ./configure –build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu …

Any ideas how to convince the average ./configure to compile in 32 bit mode? I’m trying to compile pcsx2 (a PS2 emulator) in 32 bit mode because apparently it works better. I did

export CFLAGS=-m32
export CXXFLAGS=-m32

beforehand, and building stuff works. However the problem is that configure correctly realises I’m using a 64 bit processor and set lots of #defines and other things (such as choosing the x86-64 version of an assembly file). This messes up the build. God I hate autotools.

vlad – you need to install gcc multilib for your distribution – it should then compile O.K.

How can I build x64 target. using -m64 gives error. how can I download the libraries for 64 bit. remember I am using ubuntu and gcc 4.1.2.

looks like by default gcc compiles x86.

I got this error trying to compile with -m32 :S
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h

Whats wrong?
