[GRASS-dev] To --enable-64bit or not to?

GD Day Devs!

Configuring with --enable-64bit results in (working on Kubutnu 12.10, 64 bit
currently):

--%<---
GRASS is now configured for: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
...
  64bit support: yes
--->%--

while leaving this option out results in

--%<---
GRASS is now configured for: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
...
  64bit support: no
--->%--

And the question is to 64 or not to?

Thanks, Nikos

I think your system is detected as x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
and GRASS is configured to 64bit and not respectively

while leaving this option out results in

--%<---
GRASS is now configured for: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
...
  64bit support: no
--->%--

And the question is to 64 or not to?

AFAICT, the --enable-64bit configure switch only affects AIX, HP-UX,
IRIX, and Solaris; it has no effect on Linux.

So, IMHO when you are on a 64bit Linux box, it will generate 64bit GRASS
anyway.

O-kay. Then I can ignore the message. Shouldn't the message, though, respect
what is really going on?

Would be ideal. Feel free to improve the script... :slight_smile:
