Hi Thomas, please include the x86 assembler only, if you are shure, that binutils support the cpuid command (or you could compile common_x86asm.S). Otherwise the compilation can fail. - Holger ___ Mesa-dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.mesa3d.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev

RE: [Mesa-dev] 3dnow code is now in assyntax, in the mainstream
Hi Thomas, I would recommend, if all files would be compiled with -O3 by default. On x86 targets you should pass the usual optimizer arguments. Look in the old Make-config (for example the linux-386 or the linux-3dnow target). It would be great, if you could enable compiler-specific optimizer-flags or give the user a possibility to specify them. -g / -pg / -gstabs should be defined only in debug and profiling targets. - Holger ___ Mesa-dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.mesa3d.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev

They can fail, if you declare too much args and use registers, which the compiler rather would use itself). Why don't you assemble one of the existing 3dnow_XXX.S or mmx_blend.S files ? - Holger ___ Mesa-dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.mesa3d.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev

Do you know which version of binutils introduced 3dnow support? RedHat 5.1 has binutils 2.9.1.0.4-3 (as --version is 2.9.1) and it does not recognize the 3Dnow instructions. In order to accomodate people who don't have one of the latest/greatest Linux distributions I think we'll have to keep non-3dnow configs in the Makefiles (autoconf aside). -Brian -- Brian PaulAvid Technology / Softimage [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Mesa-dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.mesa3d.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
