What is multilib and how can I use it? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Every AMD64 processor is able to run 32bit code as well as 64bit code. |
| 4 |
However, when you have a 32bit application, you are unable to mix it with |
| 5 |
64bit libraries or vice versa. You can, however, natively run 32bit |
| 6 |
applications if all shared libraries it needs are available as 32bit |
| 7 |
objects. You can choose whether you want multilib support or not by |
| 8 |
selecting the according profile. The default is a multilib-enabled profile. |

*Warning: *Currently you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a |
| 11 |
multilib-enabled profile, so think over your decision twice before you use |
| 12 |
the no-multilib profile. |
