I just got PearPC running on my Linux/AMD64. It's much faster than on Windows 2000 running on the same machine. Boot takes 53 seconds with the latest build, compared to 1:17 with the same on Windows. (That's a 32% speed increase, wow!)
Note to all you Windows users out there: Linux is MUCH faster, try it today.
sorry for the blunt opinion/fact .

Howto right build PearPC for AMD64 platform?
I use Fedora Core 3 for AMD64 on my Athlon64 based computer.
I load latest source from CVS, build it:
autogen.sh
configure --enable-cpu=jitc_x86 --disable-debug
make
Build stage ok, but when i tried start: ppc ppc.cfg - say me error in vector.

That is a problem. For some reason PearPC does not work with AMD64. But for our AMD64/Linux users, there is a solution (thanks AMD for providing native x86 support).
Just use the following commands:
Note that you must have SDL for 32-bit installed. (I just installed the package from the i386 Fedora CD with --force, no problems yet)
Just use the following commands:
Code: Select all
linux32 ./autogen.sh
linux32 ./configure --enable-ui=sdl CFLAGS="-m32" CXXFLAGS="-m32"
linux32 make
