multilib support for ArchLinux ARM!(very early stage)

Postby fish4terrisa » Tue Apr 22, 2025 12:30 am

Hi I made a multilib repo of ArchLinux ARM.
The pkgbuilds are at here:

github.com/archlinuxarm-lib32/PKGBUILDs

Later I'll upload all binary packages.(Still struggling with gcc, trying to make it reproduce itself, but seems gcc hardcored to find libraries under /usr/lib in some config files when build and host matches... You'll need to use a armv7l cross compiler before the lib32-gcc package is available to install)
Maybe I'll add circleci auto build later to keep the packages fresh.
Current I only have gcc, zlib, glibc and other gcc related libs on the repo, but hopefully I'll port all lib32 multilib packages from Arch Linux multilib repo to it.
You'll need to use the glibc from my multilib repo to get it working. I may strip that package to leave only lib32-glibc later.
Also may add box86 to the repo, since that's one of the reasons why this repo exists.

btw does anyone know how to use distcc? Compile gcc takes a lot of time(I'm compiling it on a lxc container on my phone)
Do I need to copy all libs and headers to the sysroot of the cross compiler on other machines?

Update: The binary repo is online.
Usage at
github.com/archlinuxarm-lib32/PKGBUILDs?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

Currently all the packages are built manually, a proper build system is still WIP.
Box86 is add to the repo and confirmed to be working.

Since you've mentioned box86, have you been able to run steam?
