I've been looking for a way to build 32-bit x86 binaries on an AMD64
install of FreeBSD 6.3 STABLE. It has been an exercise in frustration with
every technique hitting some other obstacle. Is there some easy way to do
this that I'm overlooking?
It's annoying that passing the
The real reason MS was there on trial was - da dum - that they were
price-setting the OPERATING SYSTEM prices. The argument was
that MS was a legal monopoly of operating systems and acting in
an anticompetitive fashion. Why the trial brought Netscape into the
trial at all is likely that
David, this is getting really tiring. Do you have such much as a shred
of evidence to support your assertion that Microsoft was really
afraid of anything? Yes or no. If you have no evidence, go away. If you
have

Don't be foolish. Microsoft would have lost the case if they

The support for your position comes in bulk from historical data. Ted

I am intrested in putting together a version of FreeBSD (at least the
non-ports portion) that is 100% viral license (gpl and lgpl [not

good starting point on this project?
The short answer is that you simply cannot do this.
