Wel DUUUH!

@Kajuru - The point was to see how long it would take to compile. :roll: (even if it IS un-optimised) :P Obviously it's a one-time thing and I WON'T be doing it again. :wink: All I wanted to do was see if it would be possible on such a low-end system. :) And it was...but only after a LOOONG time...L...

Cheers!

Thanks @Krade! ...although I'm not sure that zget allows you to specify command line options like that... ==edit== Well, I'm waiting for ZSNES to compile [without the 486 specific optimisations] just to see how long it will take... ...so far it's been compiling for 3 days...still running... I'll let...

Heatwave...

UGH! It's too d@mn hot over here at the moment... [which is VERY unusual for the U.K.] Anyhow I couldn't sleep - and went to get a glass of water. @Kajuru - dont worry about my Cx486sx getting too hot. I have installed an old GFX ORB cooler via means of Arctic Alumina onto the Cx486sx - PLENTY of co...

Sadistic - yup!

It may take hours, if not days (weeks?) for it to compile. Heh - I KNOW...but I just want to see if: 1) I can even get it to compile an optimized build... 2) How long it takes (just for fun) even if it IS weeks! I may be a sadistic swine when it comes to punishing hardware - but if it helps to impr...

D@MN!

4x86 I think lacks the CPUID instruction WHOA! Now that sucks! :cry: Is there any way to use the infos. from an app. like...say... :? CPU-Z or CPU-ID (of course, I'm probably talking b#ll#cks!) :roll: I also have a Cyrix Media GX+ computer...might as well test on there while we're on this "iss...

Compiling problem on an old machine...

I'm trying to see if I can compile an optimised build of the latest SVN of ZSNES for an old PC with the following spec... CPU = Cx486sx 25MHz MPU = 387sx 25MHz RAM = 16MB SND = SB AWE32 O.S. = Win 95(B) ...and other not too relevant specs... I have no issues with PATH or virtual RAM size. (despite t...
