Re: [gentoo-user] mmx sse sse2 use flags
What does $cat /proc/cpuinfo say on the flags line? If they show up there I'd say add them. Because the cpu is at the center of the system they ought to be available for all of portage's tasks. My $.02. --- Matthew R. Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need a bit of advice.

Thanks in advance Matt depends on your hardware... but if it does support sse2, I don't see any reason, why not all three flags should be enabled - hopefully someone with some asm-knowledge has a better answer. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks in advance Matt Have a look at `grep flags /proc/cpuinfo` to see what your proc supports. There is then no harm in adding them to your /etc/make.conf USE variable. Note: I think that some ebuilds use mmx2 while some use mmxext. AFAICT they enable the same thing. You may also want to add 3dnow and 3dnowext if they are supported by your processor. -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org ...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected... - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
