Why is this not precompiled?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Perhaps it is possible to provide a precompiled binary available for download?

Does this package compile differently for i7 i5 and i3? It clearly isn't 
designed to run on other architectures.

hey 

thanks for the great suggestion. i had trouble with statically linking with 
ncurses which i fixed.

http://i7z.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/i7z_64bit (md5sum = 
f91a58e3236471cc0890bbd6def93b3b, size is about 1 megabyte)

if i dont get any issue report from this executable (like in the next month or 
so), i'll put it as a permanent download.

regards

Greatly appreciated binary file. Unfortunately, for some reason it doesn't seem 
to want to work for me. I would report more information, but all it is giving 
me is this:

$ ./i7z_64bit
bash: ./i7z_64bit: cannot execute binary file

Perhaps there is a log file that I give you more info from?

hi

can you give some details about your machine? is it 32bit (output of uname -a 
and maybe also the distro), i put in the compiled file for 64 bit only and it 
will work only for 64bit machines (i have all 64 bit machines)

also just checking if the md5sum is the same for you and you have done 'chmod 
+x i7z_64bit' before running the program

also could you paste the output of:

file i7z_64bit

thanks a lot for testing! much appreciated

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner. I thought about it later, and yes my system is 
32bit pae. So I believe that is likely the problem. I ran the checksum and it 
was fine.

If the binary was compiled for 32bit, I think that it should run on both 32 and 
64 bit systems?

You're welcome for the testing. I'm glad I can help. :)

thanks for the reply. 

i dont really know if 32 bit compiled files would work fine with 64bit as there 
is part of code (tsc-timestamp counter) that runs differently on 32 and 64 bit 
machines.  32 bit seems to work fine on a 64bit sb machine, maybe it would. i 
guess that running 32 bits on 64bits will also require installation of 
ia32-libs. if enough people dont complain i'll just put the 32 bit binary :)

thanks a lot for testing.

darn i forgot to mention the link to the 32bit binary

http://i7z.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/i7z_32bit (md5sum = 
77d3fe483a6435d2863e8d45b32254ed, size is about 800kb)

I'm actually in the process of installing Ubuntu on my new laptop, and I 
installed it with 64bit. I ran the 64bit and 32bit binaries on it and they both 
seem to work great. The 32bit binary appears to work universally. Cheers

thanks for testing.

i put a download for the binary in sometime, if i dont get any bug reports.

thanks again
