32bit libs on 64bit?

[junior]

Hello all, I'm new in this community and low skilled in FreeBSD, but that is the reason that I have joined here and maybe sometime I will can to help others.
My question is: I can run my application from 32bit to 64bit? My application need some library files to run, but I have only for 32bit, so is possible to run it on 64bit?

 

[UNIXgod]

yes with 32-bit support compiled into the 64-bit kernel

How I can do that?
Just install FreeBSD 64bit, put my lib's and that is all?

The amd64 GENERIC kernel already has

options         COMPAT_FREEBSD32        # Compatible with i386 binaries

So far as I can see some 32bit libraries reside in /usr/lib32. See also [cmd=]ldconfig -32 -r[/cmd].

There's nothing in hier(7) about a specific location for them, so I guess you can put your libraries in a directory of your choosing and add them to ldconfig(8) (-m).
