Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc/linux gsg: add gcc-multilib as package hint
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:40:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455630003-13734-1-git-send-email-harry.van.haaren@intel.com> (raw)

When compiling for i686 targets compilation could fail
if the 32bit libc6-dev package is not installed. The
gcc-multilib packages is a meta-package that will pull
in the necessary dependencies, making setup easier for
beginners.
