pcompress on 32-bit?

Open ghost opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

Apparently it's not supported?

Are there technical reasons for this? I mean, is there a workaround to get it to compile on 32-bit?

Many thanks in advance,

When I started working on this initially it had been typically a large memory application with large file support etc. So i had just gone ahead and optimized it for 64-bit mode and did not pay much attention to 32-bit support. I realize now that it had been a somewhat short-sighted thing to do. At this point adding 32-bit support is quite a bit of work. Eventually I plan to look at that but I'm not sure how the performance aspects will be since there is a lot of 64-bit integers used throughout.

Hi moinakg, I'm packaging this software into Fedora, wish you can add support for 32-bit.

Thanks.

This requires a whole bunch of changes and will take a while. I am currently busy with a paper for Pcompress and will take this up within a month.
