[solved: I am a dope] Can gcc and gcc-multilib coexist?

If I try to install gcc-multilib, it conflicts with my existing 64-bit gcc package. Is there a way for me to install it in another path or install the binaries from gcc-multilib as gcc32, g++32 etc?

If you read the provides and conflicts of gcc-multilib, you'll find your answer.

I don't think you get what 'provides' means, to be honest....

I'm learning 32-bit assembly and the tutorial I am using has a small collection of example code and a little library which needs a 32-bit copy of libgcc.a.

libgcc.a is owned by gcc and not gcc-libs and so here I am, attempting to install the multilib package instead of the 64-bit version. The -m32 flag doesn't help. [edit: the -m32 flag to gcc, which tells it to compile for a 32 bit arch]

Have you read the Arch64 FAQ? Specifically, the section titled "Can I build 32-bit packages for i686 inside Arch64"? ...

there are 2 ways to build 32bit applications inside of Arch64;

1st. by installing gcc-multilib and all of it's dependencies , as gcc-multilib *provides* both 32bit and 64bit. (it could be possible that you've missed some package/dependency that you need for multilib, in order for your code to compile?)

2nd. You could setup a Chroot / Bundled 32-bit system within your Arch64 system.

you should be able to find what you need in the FAQ, and the links it provides;

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Arch64.3F

$ nosr libgcc.a
core/gcc
community/arm-elf-gcc-base
community/arm-wince-cegcc-gcc
community/avr-gcc
community/mingw32-gcc
community/mingw32-gcc-base
multilib/gcc-multilib

I tried to point out that gcc-multilib provides gcc. Everything gcc does, you can do with gcc-multilib. You can't have both installed at the same time (but you wouldn't want/need to, either).
