The Debian Project announces that Debian 7 (codenamed Wheezy), expected to be released in 2013, will support Multiarch.
Multiarch (Multi-architecture) terminology is used to refer to an application in which a system can install and run multiple different binaries, such as a I386-LINUX-GNU program that can run on a amd64-linux-gnu system. Multiarch also simplifies cross-schema compilation. Debian made the decision to introduce Multiarch support at the annual meeting DebConf11. Developers say it greatly enhances Debian's ability to implement general operating system commitments and strengthens the support of new 64-bit systems for 32-bit applications.
1, in use of the architecture:
- Dpkg--print-architecture
Copy Codeoutputs the current schema used, such as AMD64
2, adding schemas
- Dpkg--add-architecture i386
Copy CodeAdd the I386 schema and refresh the next source list, of course, delete is remove
- Apt-get Update
Copy CodeThis is the list of software that already contains i386
3, install i386 software
- Apt-get Install iceweasel:i386
Copy Codethat's it, okay?
