Message-ID: <000001c05cde$c4c7d6e0$9ef29840@barnes> From: "Jeff Barnes" <hoctopus@netzero.net> Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2000 19:26:15 -0600 Subject: compiling on linux My understanding of the restrictions that Linus put on Linux was that was that a program on one linux operating system had to be compatible with another operating system. I have compiled a program with g++ compiler on suse linux and transferred the executable to a server running rad hat linux. If I compile this source code on the server it works but if I compile the same source code on desktop and ftp up executable it does not work. Both machines running 586. I looked at the server executbale and it was 20k in size. The executable on my system was about 30k using the same source code. Is this incompatability my fault? Could this be because I have my hard drive in 32 bit mode and maybe server in 16 bit mode? Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? I find this confusing because I downloaded from another companies site once and it worked on my suse. <p><p>_____NetZero Free Internet Access and Email______ http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html
