My laptop has a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+, Architecture is x86_64. My problem is that I have to compile a code that will then be linked to pre-compile binaries produced on 32-bit machines. In short, everything must be compiled to generate 32-bit code for the sake of compatibility. There should be an option in the gcc compiler that forces it to generate 32-bit code.. But assuming I've got an executable for 32-bit machines, then can I run such an exectable on MY OWN laptop which is 64-bit ? If the answer is "yes" (I hope so) then I'd be grateful to know how I can do that .
Providing you have any 32bit libraries you need installed then you can just prefix your program name with linux32 for instance you can run bash in 32 bit by typing linux32 bash David -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet Free World Dialup: 683864
