+===== Linux =====
 On Linux it is possible to build for both variations, x86 and amd64. It is also possible to cross compile for Windows (32 and 64 bit), see next section for that. To compile on Linux you require the following prerequisites installed:
   * ''git'' (versioning tool) and
   * ''libsdl2-dev'' (SDL 2 development package).
+If you want to compile the 32 bit version on an amd64 platform, you might also need to do these steps:
+  - ''sudo dpkg <nowiki>--</nowiki>add-architecture i386'': Activate i386 packages as well,
+  - ''sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 libsdl2-dev:i386'': Install the SDL and libc6 for i386.
 Once you have installed these packages, you can start with cloning the git repository on the console, containing the EF sources, like this:

 You will need to run the bash on MacOS and also install git. Check out the source files from the git repository as described for Linux. Then run the following command:

 If you're running Mac OS 10.7 or newer you can build a x86 / x86_64 universal binary that is compatible with 10.7 or later. (Not particularly useful since all Mac OS 10.7 and later are x86_64.)

 After the build completes the output files will be in the ''build'' folder. The path would be ''C:\Cygwin\home\<nowiki><username></nowiki>\lilium-voyager\build\release-mingw32-arch'' for the default Cygwin install.

+===== Pre-Compiled Binaries =====
+As many users would find it requiring too much effort compiling Lilium Voyager themselves, pre-compiled binaries can be found [[https://www.mobile-infanterie.de/lilium-voyager/|here]]. These are builds based directly upon the Github repository, compiled by 7Saturn.
