Re: 32 bit perl

in reply to 32 bit perl

A few things come to mind:

make sure gcc is always invoked using the -m32 option or equivalent (see the manpage)
make sure you are linking against 32-bit versions of any libraries you depend on
make sure you have 32-bit versions of any libraries you depend on (including headers)

With luck, points 1 and 2 should be handled automagically by perl, EU::MM/M::B/etc, and/or gcc

I am new to this web site and found it quite hard to find and go back to where I posted my original question and see what others posted against it. I ended up doing 'Super Search' for the subject line to locate them, and then click on those to see what is posted in response. I then struggled to find out how to post this back. Hope this goes out. Sigh! Thanks a lot for your responses. Ya, there is a -m32 vs -m64 option to gcc. However in the generated Makefile I see lot of things like X86_64 etc etc which look like places where things get installed. I don't think just by changing compile option from -m64 to -m32 will do it everything right. So thought of asking around. Will try more. regards	[reply]

I'm pretty new here as well and I have found the Perlmonks FAQ to be helpful. Perhaps you could not find your comment due to the way that new posts are processed. Take a look at Why can't I see my post? for an explanation. If you want to find your write ups the best place will be your home node jawckey. The number next to Writeups: is a link to all your writeups.	[reply]
