linking to static glib-2.0 libraries cross 32 and 64

To link to static glib-2.0 libraries using -m32 and -m64 for 32 and 64 bit executables/shared libraries.

I was installing libglib2.0-dev and libglib2.0-dev:i386.

When i install ibglib2.0-dev:i386, it removes the libglib2.0-dev, the amd64 package When i install ibglib2.0-dev:amd64, it removes the libglib2.0-dev:i386 package.

So, basically the the 32 and 64 bit version of static libglib-2.0 library could not co-exist and hence i am not able to compile 32 and 64 bit executable on same 64 bit linux machine.

This doesn't really belong on SO—it's an issue with the Ubuntu packaging, so it would fit better on Ask Ubuntu. That said, I believe what you're looking for is Multiarch.

Also, keep in mind that statically linking to glib has license implications which you need to be mindful of.
