Sweet ! Suprised more people haven't encountered stuff like this or are we the only ones in the community compiling with 64bit ?? I haven't heard a word from VZ/TZ even though they also upgraded to a 64 bit system... They have given us no input which makes me believe they compiled with 32bit...

They very well may have. I have not seen any indications of people running 64bit servers on a regular basis. I think I'm the first to be stubborn enough to try to fix the 64bit bugs rather than going back to a 32bit compile.

So you know, I have my repository of the 64bit code available at:

Code:

svn checkout https://www.tsahosting.net/svn/eqemu64/trunk eqemu64

It has all the patches I have come up with for 64bit already applied. I generally keep it within a day of the upstream trunk SVN changes. You can see what revision it is up to by checking the log:

Code:

svn log https://www.tsahosting.net/svn/eqemu64/trunk

It has quite a number of additional patches, including makefile changes, to get it to compile and run cleanly for me. And I keep updating it as I find additional issues.

Hey thanks for the work gaeorn, I will try and use yours on my 64 and let you know if it works.

Hehe, I actually got busy with other things so my SVN is a little out of date at the moment. I'll see about getting it caught up.

Ok, it's up to date again

thanks for the heads up!

gaeorn,

Thank you again, I was finally able to get my 64bit Debian running tonight after a lot of work. Still much more to do but was finally able to log in and run around. I am getting some rule_errors but I don't think they will hurt.

Thanks everyone who puts so much time and help into this project. I have been following this forum for many years and finally set my mind to getting this going. I learned so much in this process, I hope to be able to help contribute in the future.

You guys rock!
