Version 1.39 is very old, so you should check in the latest version first to see if it has been fixed. If it is still a problem, please give examples of each type of assignment (file name and line number). > 2.

The obvious question is why? Bacula client doesn't usually need much memory. The main problem is that Win32 bacula is usually cross compiled using mingw, but I think that doesn't support 64bit yet. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
