How to install 'build-essential:i386' on Debian 7.9 x64
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm on Debian 7.9 (wheezy) x64, and I would like to install build-essential: i386.
I already added i386 in dpkg --architecture, updated aptitude and installed java-jdk-1.6:i386 successfully.
BTW, no matter how I try, build-essential systematically generates an error of dependencies with:
apt-get install build-essential:i386
Depend : dpkg-dev:i386 (>= 1.13.5)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages...
If someone has an idea... Thanks.
Also, I found this http://bit.ly/1WFGzYA
"I want to have the build-essential for i386 installed on amd64. I
could install build-essential:i386, replacing gcc/g++:amd64 with
gcc/g++:i386. Wouldn't that give me everything needed to cross-compile
for i386?
In that case, yes, because you can run x86 code on an AMD64 or Intel
64 CPU. Though you would indeed be replacing gcc-4.7:amd64 etc. with
gcc-4.7:i386 etc. as the packages aren't co-installable with
themselves."
Is it true ?

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
Update and reinstall build_essential
Also you can run apt-get build-dep $package and it will install the build dependencies for that package

Can you quote the relevant portion of the "MultiArch Specification" or other relevant document? I took a quick look at the "MultiArch Specification", but don't see the specific point addressed there.
