Thanks for the clarification. I now understand that it is a native 64bit compiler under 64bit Windows. > (You can pretty much ignore the fact that GCC's own executables just > happen to be compiled with "-m32" to allow it to also run under Windows > 32-bit, ) That is the confusing part. I think in this case it is a cross-compiler under 32bit Windows--> it is producing 64bit binary which does not run under 32bit Windows. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
