## 32bit Build
To build for the 32bit target, you need to pass `--target_arch=ia32` when
running the bootstrap script:
To build for the 32bit target, you need to pass `target_cpu = "x86"` as a GN
arg. You can build the 32bit target alongside the 64bit target by using a
different output directory for GN, e.g. `out/Release-x86`, with different
arguments.
```powershell
$ python script\bootstrap.py -v --target_arch=ia32
$ gn gen out/Release-x86 --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/release.gn\") target_cpu=\"x86\""
```
The other building steps are exactly the same.
