Hi Sashank999
I'm going to try to save you some trouble:
... Can you create steam.tcz !? ...

He keeps asking for this even though he's been told multiple times it will not run on Tinycore:
As has been said several times, unless something changed recently, steam requires a 32/64bit multi-lib system.

Tinycore does not have a multi-lib option.

Just wanted to give you a heads up as to why it won't work.

memorization is broken

https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/?C=M&O=D

if you look here carefully
you will find that there are 32-bit steam package distributions alone.

briefly steam's own official content page and contents are up to date

The last time I tried, steam 64-bit required some 32-bit apps/libs and steam 32-bit required some 64-bit apps/libs..

Hi Rich,

I am thinking multilib as a way to run the apps/libs of 32bit on 64 bit or vice versa.

But may I know why is multilib not available for tinycore ?

If it is due to not compiling it, I can compile it.

It is a system-level config thing, which adds complexity to the entire system. We don't want to support that. You would need to recompile the entire base, basically.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

* older 32-bit applications are now available with open source 64-bit patch updates (32-bit not required)

* I want the 64 bit steam version to be created for TCL.

and also

* All linux distributions support steam.
in my own country; when I recommend TCL to my close circle
more than half asked if they were running steam.

Steam for Linux Client

This is the README for the Steam for Linux client.
Hardware and Software Requirements

Steam for Linux requires the following:

    1 GHz Pentium 4 or AMD Opteron with:
        x86-64 (AMD64) instruction set
        CMPXCHG16B instruction support (cx16 in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
        SSE3 instruction support (pni in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
    512 megabytes of RAM and 5 gigabytes of hard drive space, or better
    Internet connection (Cable/DSL speeds recommended)
    Latest Ubuntu LTS, fully updated
    64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) Linux kernel
    64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) and 32-bit (i386, IA32) graphics drivers and glibc
...

So you will need to convince either:

* steam to build a pure 64-bit version
or
* somebody to build a 32/64-bit multilib fork of tinycore

Hi Juanito,

If it has a configure script, we could trick that script and make it install Steam for us.

Well, I don't find a source so that I can have configure.

steam is a platform with a wide range of targets,

one of its goals (the most confusing point)
especially tries to run windows games (wine) for linux.
in this respect for 32-bit windows applications on 64-bit linux
as it needs 32-bit linux libraries. !!!

but on the other hand, what i notice
with native linux patch packages for applications
even 32-bit windows games before
wine and its derivatives are not needed.

To summarize; For the steam 64-bit client to work
32-bit library is not required.

My only request is to ask you to create the 64-bit platform configuration.

Applications that are 32-bit have the option of using github-style open source 64-bit patches.
