Report:PearPC on Linux/AMD64

[PPC_Digger]

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 .

And by try it today he doesnt mean fedora linux, but in reality Gentoo linux (Esp since you can built everythign for 64 bit...) BUt thats besid teh point. Linux is faster, esp for PearPC

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.

Help me please!!!

Sorry for my english.

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:

Code: Select all

linux32 ./autogen.sh
linux32 ./configure --enable-ui=sdl CFLAGS="-m32" CXXFLAGS="-m32"
linux32 make

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)
