  • [gentoo-user] Correct procedure to install AMD64 multilib?

    From Walter Dnes@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 14 22:50:02 2021
    The Android toolkit requires multilib, and my desktop is no-multilib.
    I've got an old 3 gig ram Dell kicking around. Fortunately, I don't
    think a GUI is required. This will be my first time with multilib in
    ages, so expect newbie questions. Is the multilib install procedure
    like so...

    1) start off with AMD64 minimal install CD
    2) followed by stage3-amd64-openrc-20211212T170613Z.tar.xz (or whatever
    the date/time stamp is).

    This implies that multilib is the default; you have to deliberately
    select no-multilib to get no-multilib. Any changes in make.conf or
    anywhere else?

    I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

    Yeah, it should work like the no-multilib stage3 install. (I assume,
    never used it)

    Nope, but to actually get 32-bit libraries built in most cases you will
    need to set the USE_EXPAND ABI_X86=32 on the packages you need it for
    (don't set it globally, that's unnecessary). Probably automatically
    needed if you install the Android toolkit via portage.

    Specifically you can look here if you have a problem with that. That's how
    I was able to sort that dependency out. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Sam/Portage_help/Circular_dependencies#harfbuzz_and_freetype
