The gccwrap application comprises basic wrapper scripts designed to facilitate the compilation of programs that are 32-bit only. It streamlines the process of compiling such programs by simplifying the execution of the required commands.
It's important to note that this software requires a Linux distribution with proper FHS compliant -m32/multilib support, such as SUSE, Fedora, or Mandriva. But for those who meet the requirements, gccwrap is a game-changer.
And with the latest release, the software has only gotten better. An xmkmf wrapper was added to fix up autoconf X11R6 detection, and a makefile was included for easy installation of the scripts. Plus, an explicit notice of the license has been added for a more transparent experience overall.
Overall, if you're struggling with 32-bit only program compilations, gccwrap is a must-have addition to your software toolbelt.
