View Full Version : Looking for GCC 4.x compiled Linux SB2.5

I have a number of machines that I have access to to run sb, but they are newer linux (Fedora Core 5) machines. They require a newer GCC 4.x build for the system libraries to work. Any chance someone on the development side could do a quick compile for an linux/intel i86/gcc4.x architecture.

Please note that most newer versions of major linux kernels are compiled with gcc 4.x now. Including Redhad/Fedora, Novel/Suse, and Ubuntu/Debian.

This would be greatly appreciated by many and would help move the project along.

Please give http://seventeenorbust.com/download/sb-v2.5-gcc4.tar.gz a try and let me know.

Seems to work just fine.

Might be a little early to tell properly but it seems just a shade slower to me..

I'll check it's averages per block after a few hours.

I have installed on two different systems.
So far so good. Do not have prior statistics
to compare with since these are new machines.

Thank You for the quick turn around.

I cant understand why it would be any slower at all... but who knows.

Let me know in like a week or so if you've had no problems and I'll post an official release of it.

What are the chances of a new BeOS/Haiku/Zeta build to bring it up to 2.5?

Yeah, seems like that's the response I got before when I asked :(

Best way to contact him? A lot of BeOS users I know have stopped running it because it doesn't run properly on some Athlons now, and the 2.5 client for Windows is noticeably faster on the same hardware than the 2.2 client for BeOS.

Haiku is a fresh OS (built from the ground up) to be binary-compatible with BeOS but supporting newer hardware. The client runs on it very well already, but still slower than Windows allegedly due to the older code.

Our team is currently 15th (soon to be 14th) and we would love to run the client on Haiku directly!

Is there any chance one of us can volunteer to maintain the BeOS port? - I'm not sure how the project leaders feel about that sort of thing.
