Run ``rustup target install i686-unknown-linux-gnu`` to install the + 32-bit Rust target. +#. Install 32-bit dependencies with the following command (this shouldn't try to + remove packages. If this is the case, those instructions won't work as-is): + + .. code:: + + sudo apt install gcc-multilib g++-multilib \ + libgtk2.0-dev:i386 libgtk-3-dev:i386 libpango1.0-dev:i386 libxt-dev:i386 \ + libx11-xcb-dev:i386 libpulse-dev:i386 libdrm-dev:i386 + +#.
