Hi all -

Is it possible to build 32 bit boost libraries on amd64? When I try, I get complaints (errors) saying that pointers aren't the right size.

I already have boost installed in /usr/lib64, but I need the 32 bit libs in /usr/lib32.

I'm running the gentoo distribution, so a trick to build via emerge or a trick to build via tarball/configure would be great.

Thanks for any help, Brian

If you're using GCC (gcc/g++), try adding '-m32' to the compile and link flags (CPPFLAGS & LDFLAGS). That should compile/link 32 bit on AMD 64.
