compat32pkg / News: Recent posts

Hello,

A new version of compat32pkg is available. This version includes the latest revision of the layer-32 descriptor, and comes with the new command "--depends" which allows to list the dependency required by a 32-bit binary, or by the 32-bit binaries in a directory hierarchy, or by the 32-bit binaries from an installed package.

Hello,
