I'll just add to all this, that the new 32bit client works like a dream on my Sun SparcServer 20's running Solaris 8 - many thanks BTF.

Cheers,
Nobby.

more than likely becase you are setting xtarget= ,which in turn sets the xarch= and xchip= compiler flags...

or, if that isn't it - it might be the -fast flag - I'm not sure about that one, as I...

and just to recap...

you will only need 2 seperate binaries for Sun Solaris ;-

-xarch=v8 for 32bit (which should run on 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 & 2.8)

-xarch=v9 for 64bit (which will run on 2.7 & 2.8)...

devzero - v8/v9 is the architecture type, not the version of Solaris they support...

v8 will work on earlier 32bit versions of Solaris/SunOS
v9 will work on 64bit versions.

Cheers,
Nobby.

Supply me with a way to benchmark my hyperSPARCs (v8) and I will tell you...

explains v7,v8,v8a,v8plusa,v9 and v9a

Do you have to specify -xtarget= ??

can you not just use -xarch=v8 for 32bit and -xarch=v9 for 64bit ??

I'll try and do a bit more checking tomorrow.

Cheers,
Nobby.

No offence taken - I fully realise these babies are old.

It would be better, as you say, to create an older 32bit binary (that will work on the older sparcs) and a newer 64bit binary for all the...

Surely I cannot be the only one running the folding client on an older Sun Sparc ????

As per the latest News page, I quote ;

Well, I'm making myself heard !! I run the client on 2 Sun...
