Re: Why Are You NOT Using FreeBSD ?

We used to have FreeBSD exclusively on desktops... Now, we have migrated to other desktops (mac) with FreeBSD running the build and file server... Why? Because - the mac updates itself! No pain, no installation, no keeping-up with mailing lists/announcements, just click and its done. Mac OS

bin/139146 still not right in FreeBSD 8.2 (-m32 on amd64)?

Just installed a fresh 8.2-stable on a brand-spanking-new 64-bit machine... But, when I try to build 32-bit programs I get problems linking, and I stumbled onto PR bin/139146. The PR mentions this quick test: uname -sr echo int main () { } t.c gcc -v --help 21 | grep m32 gcc -m32 t.c
