Fink only generates 64-bit libraries for packages that explicitly declare a difference. Otherwise it builds 32-bit binaries. _No_ processor optimizations are used. The issue actually goes the other way: Fink tries to make sure binaries built on a particular architecture work on all machines, and the 64-bit detection was implemented to make sure that packages that built differently on a 64-bit machine wouldn't inadvertently be used on a 32-bit one. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHZ/B+B8UpO3rKjQ8RAoyhAJ9PL5nCqB3owq5/rtDrxjwwga8AjQCfehiH cUSa3hjk3WCnpILWCT107zY= =iD0f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
