Example:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf ("Hello World!\n");
}
Compiled (on Dom0):
gcc -m32 hellobit.c -o hellobit.32
gcc -m64 hellobit.c -o hellobit.64
Now Executed in a xenppc DomU
./hellobit.32
Hello World!
./hellobit.64
-bash: ./hellobit.64: No such file or directory
As far as I remember xenppc DomU systems are 32bit (please correct me if
not) even if our kernel may say otherwise:
uname -a
Linux linux 2.6.18-Xen #25 SMP Sun Jul 29 00:29:02 CEST 2007 ppc64 ppc64
ppc64 GNU/Linux
I played a bit around with powerpc32 which changes the env so that e.g.
uname -m will report a 32bit system, but this did neither help me to get
64bit apps running (expected) nor better error messages.
The problem is not that 64bit apps do not run, but I think the message
should be something better than "No such file or directory"
->My question now: could/should we add a more sophisticated mechanism to
give the user running into this something like "you are not 64bit" ?
