However you won't be able to correctly compile 32 bit software on your 64 bit system. For compiling, you _should_ use a jail, or compile on a 32 bit system. They're addressing this cross-compiling issue in the latest FreeBSD sources I think. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes, I believe this has been possible since 7.2. Mike On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 11:00 AM, Redd Vinylene reddvinyl...@gmail.comwrote: Greetings! Can I run a 32-bit jail (or software) on a 64-bit server?

Thanks! Use this as a start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails.html Then you have to specify target arch = i386 or something in the make buildworld etc. steps.

Re: Can I run a 32-bit jail (or software) on a 64-bit server?
I wrote a utility (attached) to make the process really fast and easy: jail_build(8): Build FreeBSD jails from binary distributions Here's a simple howto: Step 1: Create a landing zone for your binary distribution (jail_build(8) looks in `/usr/repos' for binary distributions)... sudo mkdir -p /usr/repos sudo cd /usr/repos Step 2: Download one or more binary FreeBSD distributions (any version, any platform)... wget -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE Step 3: Download jail_build(8)... cd wget http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/jail_build.txt mv jail_build.txt jail_build chmod +x jail_build Step 4: Build your jail(s)... ./jail_build -- Devin (full sig at bottom) P.S.
