Very Computer

Hi all,

I am currently porting some code from a Sun Sparc station to a Linux PC.  However I keep getting floating point exception crashes.  Does anyone know of a gcc compiler flag which would allow me to get the Linux code to compile using IEEE-fp conventions?  Im using gcc 2.5.8.

Also I originally installed version 2.7.0 of gcc (ELF), however this seemed unable to compile code > ~1Meg executables, (ld failed).  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Tony

At least with gcc 2.7.0 or 2.7.2, add -lieee when linking to get IEEE support.
I don't know about earlier versions of gcc.

Hope this helps...
