| Luckily, 64bit support is becoming more and more common. Adobe was a sore point for a long time, but they eventually released their Flash browser plugin in a 64bit version. Sun (now absorbed by Oracle) revealed a 64bit version of their Java browser plugin. These two events were major triggers to start working on Slackware64. | Luckily, 64bit support is becoming more and more common.

| | |
| | Automation: |
| | - Check out [[#rd_party_support_tools | compat32pkg]] by Sėbastien Ballet which automates this process, similar to slackpkg. |
| | - If you prefer slackpkg for package management, then it is worthwhile to check out [[http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+.html|slackpkg+]], an extension to slackpkg which manages the packages you installed from 3rd-party repositories - including multilib. When properly configured, keeping your multilib is as easy as running: <code> |
| | # slackpkg update |
| | # slackpkg upgrade multilib |
| | # slackpkg install multilib |
| | </code> That last command will show you if any new packages were added to the collection of "compat32" packages, such as llvm-compat32 and orc-compat32 recently. |
| | * This is how a typical configuration would look like - for a computer running Slackware-current and using Alien BOB's KDE testing repository. The PKGS_PRIORITY ensures that multilib packages of gcc and glibc have precedence over the Slackware originals. The keyword "multilib" which defines the name for the repository must be the same keyword used in the "slackpkg" commands above. The choice of the word "multilib" is arbitrary, it could just as well have been "compat32", as long as you use it consistently. \\ Contents of an example file "/etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf" would be as follows: <file> |
