From: ptrouton@bfsec.bt.co.uk (Paul Trouton) Subject: HELP! no floating point on 486 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 10:10:10 GMT
Please help. I am using Linux and gcc. I also have dbg and xxxdbg. My problem is this
I have a program that uses doubles, I can compile the code, but when I run the
program it crashes giving the error
program received signal 8, floating point exception error
When I got my setup it said
HOSTTYPE=i386
I am running Linux on a 486DX/33, it was installed on this machine.
I am certain that the program core's because it cannot use the maths co-pro on the 486, because it is in i386 mode.
How can I fix this, how can I set the HOSTTYPE to 486.
Also where can I get PS docs for gcc, dbg and xxxdbg, or even books on these programs.
I have tried everything, but nothing helps. Please help. ASAP.
Thanks in advance Paul...
