Note that if you passed the --enable-exhaustive-tests and --enable-valgrind-testing parameters to configure and then run the test suite, it will take a very long time (up to 300 SBUs) and use about 375 MB of disk space. Now, as the root user: make install First clean the directory: make distclean Install lib32-FLAC by running the following commands: CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \ CFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32" CXXFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib32 \ --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --disable-thorough-tests make Now, as the root user: make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR install cp -vr DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32 rm -rf DESTDIR ldconfig --disable-thorough-tests: This parameter is used so that the test suite will complete in a reasonable amount of time. Remove it if you desire more extensive tests.
