From: /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk . elif ${CPUTYPE} == "c3" MACHINE_CPU = 3dnow mmx i586 i486 i386 . elif ${CPUTYPE} == "c3-2" MACHINE_CPU = sse mmx i586 i486 i386 If you look at the screenshot of the CPUID window from the review linked by Garrett, it says the Nehemiah has sse but not 3dnow, which matches the c3-2 settings above. I would recommend that you comment out C[XX]FLAGS and try again with CPUTYPE=c3-2 FreeBSD isn't Gentoo, and using Gentoo's settings may cause trouble in the long-term. If you set CPUTYPE properly, FreeBSD will normally come-up with sensible optimizations. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
