Hi,

Now that I think, I have some programs in that install that will fail if I upgrade to x64, because they were compiled a few years ago, and no longer compile, because the gcc compiler got a lot more finicky with the warnings it would accept. It has been impossible to recompile for a long time now, so I kept using the old binary. They are programs not actively developed (for Fidonet: Golded+ and some more).
I might have to use those inside a vmware client running an older suse version. Or is it possible to run 32 bits apps in an x64 oS?
Of course 32-bit applications will run upon 64-bit architecture.
They do? I have no experience on 64 bits. I'll have to try this app in this test partition.
If you are compiling yourself and 64-bit does not compile, you have gcc switches like -m i386.
Ah, noted, but unfortunately, they are old apps that will no way compile, not even on 32 bits 11.0: they produce tons of syntax warnings. I'm forced to use the binary I compiled years ago on 7.3 or thereabouts. I also need some -compat versions of libraries. I need to investigate this. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
