 When Slackware64 was released, it had an advantage over the 64bit "forks" that existed out there. These forks added the 32bit compatibility layer by recompiling a lot of their packages as 32bit binaries. Slackware on the other hand, is a distribution that consists of a 32bit and 64bit release, both of which are being developed in parallel. This means, that you do not have to compile 32-bit packages from scratch in order to add multilib capability to the 64bit system.  You simply take them from the 32-bit Slackware package tree! \\  This was one of the reasons for not adding full multilib to Slackware64 - we create the right preconditions but require the user to act if she needs multilib. \\ In a [[#detailed_instructions | section further down]], I will explain how you can take a 32-bit Slackware package (say, the "mesa" package) and re-package its content into a "mesa-compat32" package that you can install straight away on Slackware64. When Slackware64 was released, it had an advantage over the 64bit "forks" that existed out there.

-  * A lot of thanks should go to Fred Emmott, who created Slamd64, the original unofficial 64-bit fork of Slackware.  Although Slackware64 was not based on Fred's work, I still learnt most of what I know about setting up the 32-bit part of a multilib Linux from his writings that are found in Slamd64.+  * A lot of thanks should go to Fred Emmott, who created Slamd64, the original unofficial 64-bit fork of Slackware.  Although Slackware64 was not based on Fred's work, I still learnt most of what I know about setting up the 32-bit part of a multilib Linux from his writings that are found in Slamd64.\\ Note that Slamd64 had separate 64bit and 32bit gcc/glibc multilib packages. However, I believe that it is cleaner to keep these essential multilib packages undivided.  I followed the concept already used in Slackware64's own //binutils// package, which has 64-bit and 32-bit multilib capability bundled into one package. 
  
   * Cross Linux From Scratch.\\ The CLFS Wiki (http://trac.cross-lfs.org/wiki/read#ReadtheCrossLinuxFromScratchBookOnline) is a 'must-read' if you want to understand how to port Linux to a new architecture. I took several ideas, concepts and patches from them when creating Slackware64 from scratch, and again when I created my multilib gcc/glibc packages from scratch (my README on this multilib-from-scratch is available in the ./source directory).   * Cross Linux From Scratch.\\ The CLFS Wiki (http://trac.cross-lfs.org/wiki/read#ReadtheCrossLinuxFromScratchBookOnline) is a 'must-read' if you want to understand how to port Linux to a new architecture.
