<p>SDF will be using both amd64 and alpha architectures for the next several
|
|
years, and other CPU types may be added as well. Those who have their own
|
|
compiled binaries in their home directory are advised to make two separate bin
|
|
directories, one for alpha, one for amd64, and to populate them with programs
|
|
compiled on the respective architectures. You can then use '<tt>uname -m</tt>'
|
|
to determine the CPU type of your current host when logging in and update your
|
|
$PATH appropriately.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, something as simple as:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
case `uname -m` in
|
|
alpha) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/alpha_bin ;;
|
|
amd64) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/amd64_bin ;;
|
|
esac
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
could be added to your .profile or to any script that you may need to run from
|
|
cron (MetaARPA/sverige users only). Invoking one of your compiled binaries
|
|
will then always result in the correct executable being run.</p>
