Hi Hakan, Thanks very much for testing the getpoplog.sh script so soon!
Your success is a great reward for my attempts to understand what I was trying to do -- with several intermediate messes. > What a great start of the new year, Now I got Poplog 16 to work! If I had known several months ago that it would take till now to reach this stage I might have suggested calling it Poplog 20! But there are now too many references to V16. > The magic that got it to work on my Linux Ubuntu 18.04 box was the -nopie > flag to getpoplog.sh . Excellent! It was all due to Waldek, who mentioned the problem AND the solution in June. Six months later, I think I understand what he had written, well enough to use the information in the new download script, after several false starts! (I am not really a linux programmer.) > There are still some issues that I will check out in more detail, but > running all the first 50 Project Euler programs is now 2s faster than the > earlier 15.65 version. (See http://hakank.org/poplog/ for the programs.) I had previously referenced your pages in http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/freepoplog.html I thought I should also include something in the new (still draft) V16 web site: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/V16/AREADME.html However I have a problem, which others may have also. If a file name ends in '.p' Firefox refuses to display it, and merely asks where to save a downloaded version. (It also does this with .sh files.) Does anyone know how to disable that behaviour? Curiously opera displays .p files, but refuses to display .sh files, and only offers to download them. The universe has got too complicated for my simple mind, with too many paths being traversed in parallel... Best wishes Aaron http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs
