Help: Compiling 32bit apps in an AMD64 Evnironment

[Guest]

I would like to compile some old code that is for a 32bit x86 but my linux env is a 64 bit one. I am using the gcc compile option -m32 but I always get the following error when I compile....

*** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include/stddef.h'

what package do I need to install to get this set of header files?

Thanks

I'm very, very far from knowledgeable on coding and compiling, but it strikes me that an easy and obvious way around your problem would be to install a 32-bit Linux (Kubuntu is a fine choice) in a VMware Player VM, and work with your 32-bit stuff in that environment.

2 cents worth (and probably worth it!)
