Hi!
alepulver made me aware of this,
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/sparc64-7-latest-logs/mame-extras-0.114.log
-8624 CPU(s)? :) It works on 6,
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/sparc64-6-latest-logs/mame-extras-0.114.log
altho that was using an earlier p7zip version... The code that gets
the number of cpus seems to be in work/p7zip*/CPP/Windows/System.cpp
in the /usr/ports/archivers/p7zip dir (after make patch):
[...]
UInt32 GetNumberOfProcessors() {
int nbcpu = 1;
size_t value;
size_t len = sizeof(value);
if (sysctlbyname("hw.ncpu", &value, &len, NULL, 0) == 0)
nbcpu = value;
return nbcpu;
}
[...]
I don't have a sparc64 box, could this have something to do with 7z's
use of shared libs, like sparc64 now needs -fPIC like amd64 and ia64 too?
(just run 7z l and 7za l on some tarball, that should be enough to find out,
7za has its 7z libs linked statically.)
If anyone has other insights/can debug this I'd be grateful too...
Thanx,
Juergen
