FWIW, I have no-multilib, but with the 32-bit compatibility turned on in |
| 17 |
the kernel, I'm able to do the 32-bit chroot thing as in the gentoo/amd64 |
| 18 |
documentation. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In my case, I'm doing a full 32-bit chroot image, which then gets |
| 21 |
transferred to my AA1 netbook. (The big machine has far more memory and |
| 22 |
power to do the compiles, so it makes more sense to do that and not even |
| 23 |
have the gentoo tree on the netbook, just transfer over the prebuilt, |
| 24 |
preconfigured image, and rsync it again after every update. I've never |
| 25 |
booted the 32-bit image on the big machine, tho, and indeed, couldn't, as |
| 26 |
the kernel drivers, etc, are all built-in and configured for the netbook.) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
For just running 32-bit stuff on the same machine, tho, you'd not need the |
| 29 |
full system image, as you'd be able to skip stuff like syslog and the |
| 30 |
kernel, as they'd be 64-bit hosted. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That'd give you the 32-bit stuff including wine in its own little chroot, |
| 33 |
fully built from source as any Gentooer should appreciate, without |
| 34 |
dirtying up your 64-bit-clean no-mulilib main install as the 32-bit stuff |
| 35 |
would be in its own chroot, and without the compromise of the prebuilt 32- |
| 36 |
bit libraries the typical multilib installation uses. It's a bit more |
| 37 |
work to keep updated than a multilib install, but because the main install |
| 38 |
is 64-bit clean no-multilib, you don't have the broken 32-bit toolchain |
| 39 |
issues that seem to strike many multilib users after awhile. (...that I |
| 40 |
got tired of after a few times, and that I was VERY glad to be rid of, |
| 41 |
when I dumped multilib myself.) |
