You cannot run a 64 bit application on 31 bit Linux for zSeries. The 64 bit version has compatibility modules for 31 bit applications. I am not sure how one develops 31 bit apps. on a 64 bit system. I think you have to use the cross development compilers by specifying the 31 bit architecture on the command line for the compile. Your questions make perfect sense. I would be interested in knowing if you figure out how to build 31 bit apps. on a 64 bit system. -----Original Message----- From: Taraka Srinivas Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 6:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Linux for zSeries 31 bit/ 64 bit
Hi, Am new to the group. Hope to have some good discussions. We are using 64 bit SuSE Linux for zSeries. Is it possible to run 64-bit linux developed applications on a 31-bit Linux for zSeries ? Do we need to make sure that the correct libraries are used in the 64-bit Linux environment while application development , so that application can be run on 31 bit linux later? 64-bit SuSE linux provides s390(31 bit) as well as s390x(64 bit) packages. ................. So do i need to set my path or any other env variables to point to 31 bit libraries ? Finally, Are my questions making any sense ?
