Hi, As I reported yesterday, I was working on a patch to solve the problem of using the option '-Duse64bitall' in Configure. Well, after studying the code I think I'm done with the patch. In fact, there are two patches: one for the Configure script and another for the hints/linux.sh script. The patch which applies to the Configure adds a call to a CBU named "lddl.cbu", responsible for modifying the 'lddlflags' after it has been set (by the user or by the system, it doesn't really matter; the important thing is to add the flag '-m64' for the compiler). The patch that applies to the hints/linux.sh script handles three variables: $ccflags, $ldflags and $lddlflags. For the last one, as explained above, it generates a CBU to be executed later (that adds the '-m64' flag in the variable). For the first two variables, it simple appends the instruction '-m64' and goes on. As many of you may have noticed it's my first patch here, what means it'll probably contain some kind of mistake. If that's so, please let me know how to correct it in order to make it acceptable :-). Thanks in advance, -- Sérgio Durigan Júnior Software Engineer Linux Technology Center - LTC IBM BrazilThread Next
