64 bit implementation

[MikeR]

I thought you might be interested in the following.

I have installed the 32bit scarletdme in a 64bit installation.

I have installed Mint15 64bit on a laptop.
I have copied my 32bit scarletdme to /usr/qmsys on this Mint15 install, run debian/install.sh and scarletdme starts/ (Note: I compiled nothing)
I have copied an account and that runs.

Job done without any additional bits

It runs just fine on a 64 bit environment, you just can't compile it
there. :)

Interesting, Gene.  I would have thought that there should be options to the GCC so that it could compile on x64 systems.  What exactly goes wrong?

Oh the compile works fine. When it tries to execute object files
that were compiled by the BASIC compiler, the wheels come off.

That's why I'd mentioned that some kind of tool needs to be developed that
can "upgrade" the 32 bit object files to 64 bit or modify the engine to be
able to properly handle 32 bit object code in a 64 bit envronment.

At one time I'd traced out where things started going wrong, but I ran out
of time. It starts when it's unable to read a proper signature from an
object file.

I have an issue with the function ITYPE - it does not work.

It fails when addressing an I descriptor - it aborts

Any clues?

can you post the entire code and the I descr as well?

Forget that! Problem solved.

Thank you for asking for the code etc. It forced me to build a test - which - urhh - worked.
It was an interesting bug in the code that has been there since - forever!

Your code or "ours"? :D

[MikeR]

Mine of course! ;-(
