binary compatibility with Debian...
Let me explain briefly the issue I've run into:
1. I build a really `short` application under Fedora or Mandrake disto(s):
int main()
{
return 0;
}
On both above platforms, it is build with command:
g++ -g -O0 -m32 test2.cpp,
where test2.cpp is a file with above mentioned code.
2. I move the binary output - a.out - to my Debian box.
Attempt to execute it is immediately failing with
`Floating point exception`.
3. Building above code on Debian and executing:
no problem - it is doing nothing, but not crashing...
4. moving the binary, build on Debian to Fedora and/or Mandriva-
and running it - no problem, doing nothing, not crashing.
I would really appreciate any idea how to explain such behavior, and,
possibly, an advice what should be done in order to share binary,
build on Fedora/Mandriva with Debian.
Thanks for you kind attention to this matter.
Bug#482902: please provide libc6-hppa64 and libc6-hppa64-dev packages
* Thibaut VARENE: I'm not sure I understand this correctly though: what's needed right now is a debian-packaged etch-supported kernel (ie, 2.6.18 if my memory serves me right?) that works on hppa? Is it any different that the kernel package shipped with etch? (I suspect it is since the latter is not being used) If so, how so? We see issues with the stable-security buildd (peri); it's often not available when we need it. IIRC, those are caused by kernel stability issues, but my memory is a bit foggy. For lenny, there are a couple of Berkeley DB issues that could need some attention. I'd also prefer if all architectures could provide the full threading API, with cross-process mutexes and stuff like that (which presumably would enable us to use that to fix the Berkeley DB bugs). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
