  • Kicksecure 14 and above is 64-bit by default. [1] [2]

To build Kicksecure 14 32-bit, add the following build parameter. 

--arch i386
  • kFreeBSD is entirely untested and most likely needs additional work (see footnotes). [3]
  • Kicksecure for arm64 development discussion:

https://forums.whonix.org/t/whonix-for-arm64-raspberry-pi-rpi/723archive.org

  • Generally speaking, 64-bit builds cannot be created if running a 32-bit host kernel. See footnotes. [4] [5]

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ↑ State of official 64-bit buildsarchive.org.
  2. ↑ Don't get confused by the term amd64. It runs on both, Intel and AMD. amd64 is only how Debian names the kernel. It works equally well on Intel and AMD.
  3. ↑ kFreeBSD (32-bit). 
    --arch kfreebsd-i386 --kernel kfreebsd-image --headers kfreebsd-headers

    kFreeBSD (64-bit). 

    --arch kfreebsd-amd64 --kernel kfreebsd-image --headers kfreebsd-headers

  5. ↑ In this case, try installing the packages linux-image-amd64 and linux-headers-amd64 on your host, then boot the amd64 kernel by choosing it in the boot menu. The whole system does not require re-installation; just be sure to boot with an amd64 kernel. Alternatively, consider to re-install your host using amd64.
