i do not understand the difficulty for developers to release amd64 version of their software .
i don't have good understand of architecture from software point of view, but i imagine the problem varies according to the type of the software . so if low level library software are released in version amd64, what is stopping application level like skype from being released as well ? and from another point of view: how to write amd64 software ? like if i write a simple standard C++ program and compile it using amd64 then obviously it runs on that architecture . so assume skype is written in C++, what is stopping them from simply compiling it using an amd64 gcc ? is it only a dependency problem, that skype depends on various libraries that in turn don't have amd64 version ? _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://haifux.org/mailman/listinfo/haifux
