hi all, i installed colinux on windows 2000 , did all that there was to do as written on the colinux site under installation heading ... as regards to networking and colinux , which they refer as the hardest part , i dont undertsand what is the fuss all about . is it that we can access other computers on lan from the colinux console or something .... further more i have to submit a 50 page report in college regarding something new that i find interesting .... and have chosen coLinux , plz suggest apart from the installation procedure , on colinux.org ,,,where else can i find more matter .... i read the paper which dan gave in some linux workshop and found it very informative . suggest further reading please shruti pandey pune - india col...@li... wrote: Send coLinux-users mailing list submissions to col...@li...

You should find it easily with google, but you can also get it at http://nlucas.homeip.net/colinux/test/flops20.zip (it is my home pc, so it is possible the net be down or something). After some googling I found this last year forums about the pentium 4 CFLAGS problems with floating point: http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030401-newsletter.xml#doc_chap4 It seems one way of testing if you have a gentoo configuration that activates this gcc bugs is executing: # python -c 'int(10.1); int(10000.3); int(1.2)' If it doesn't show nothing (no error) it is because your configuration is ok (or you have a mixed compiled environment, off course).

Perhaps we should change it to string matching instead. What's your opinion? -- Dan Aloni da...@co... --__--__-- Message: 4 To: Nuno Lucas Cc: col...@li..., gboutwel From: sl...@bl...

After looking at this earlier discussion, it is clear to me that it is unrelated to the problem I am reporting. The key differences are: 1. The earlier discussion is from 2003-04 and earlier (more than 16 months ago) and refers to GCC version 3.2. In many places, it states that the bugs are going to be fixed in GCC 3.3, and I am now using GCC 3.3.4. 2. The earlier discussion does not observe any connection with linking with libpthreads. The problem I am reporting only happens to programs that are linked with libpthreads. 3. The earlier discussion does not refer to any difference between Linux kernel versions. It also (obviously) does not mention coLinux. The problem I am reporting only happens with pre-0.6.2 coLinux snapshots using Linux kernel 2.6.7 and does not happen with coLinux 0.6.1 using Linux kernel 2.4.26. Thanks for pointing out the earlier discussion though. -- Joe --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: 6 Sep 2004 02:35:07 -0000 From: "gboutwel" To: da...@co... CC: col...@li...

You can find this test at the following Source-Forge Track-It item: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=980389&group_id=98788&atid=622063 Which is an closed bug. Specificaly the link to get the file that has this test as C source is: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=98788&atid=622063&file_id=92006&aid=980389 If you're serious about tracking this problem down, since the developers can't seem to duplicate this problem on our machines, I'd be willing to build special builds for you to try (steping backwards in the source code repository versions) until we found the version that it last works correctly in and then looking at the code to determine what change has produced this problem then maybe apply an fix to the latest source and have you try it to see if it fixes your problem.
