32 bit binary repo for Otter Browser?

I would like to try out otter-browser, but only a 64 bit Appimage is available, otherwise I should compile it from the sources, which is a painfully slow process on any 32 bit system. Maybe somebody have compiled it already, and can share the binary (pkg.tar.xz).

if you happen to have a box running on 64-bit archlinux, too, then you can crosscompile with our devtools

Re: 32 bit binary repo for Otter Browser?

Are there any prewritten instructions for setting that up on Archlinux64 out of interest?  I tried and failed to set up a crosscompiling gnu toolchain earlier in the year, but I found I couldn't find complete instructions so kind of had to jump between two set of intructions and unsurprisingly managed to bugger it up.  A complete set of instructions on how to do it would be very welcome.

devtools32 do not cross compile, but compile in a 'setarch i686'ed chroot
You can simply install devtools32 (from [releng]) and use the command extra-i686-build to compile your package.
In case you need extranous packages (e.g. other dependencies from aur), you will need to hack the pacman.confs in /usr/share/devtools.

Just build it from the AUR with staging-i686-build, no additional packages from the AUR needed.
I have a version in my personal repo:

[aba-aur]
Server = http://archlinux32.andreasbaumann.cc/aur/$arch

Note: AUR packgaes have no official repos and I cannot promise  the packages in aba-aur will be kept up-to-date!
