Thanks!

Very good news first:

(different AR, but impresive anyhow!)

And, normal good news:

works on celeron M (laptop) with 2.4 kernel.
While /usr/bin/file complains on header, it runs fine (2.4-upx). Cool, no need for uncompressed.
works on old Xeon, works on real Pentium-M laptop.

In fact, works on all my linux boxes with sse2, intel/amd CPUs.

Thanks for fast response, time for beer!

Woo hoo ;D

Now if I can only figure out why my SSE builds only work on some Intel chips and not anywhere else...time to install the dev tools on yet another host.

Oh, and I was watching whether anyone reported problems 8) So apart from some small compatibility issues that seem ironed out, it seems it's all good now. Phew!

Regards,
Simon.

Simon,

Ni! Ni! Ni!

As a fellow KWSN and avid cruncher I congratulate you on the Linux app!  I am using it on 3 Linux hosts, using 2.6 kernels on FC4.  They are 2 P4 2.8 (HT'd) and a dual Xeon 3.06 (not HT'd).  All tasks have successfully completed and validated.

I may look into compiling my own Windows version; I really appreciate the instructions for that.  Thank you very much for your efforts.  Good Luck in the future!  :)

If I remember right from the days I did my optimized seti (the old one) binary using ICC, there can be some older chips that don't take well binary compiled using too many -ax branches. They crashed miserably on my P3 Tualatin. The solution was to compile binary specifficaly for that using -xK ...

s52d:
How about SSE3?

I looked at some fastest boxes on seti, and most of them (linux) are using
SSE3 Crunchr3 version.

Maybe it is worth trying?
