   JamNNTPd that WORKS

      Hello Matt!   
      
   04 Nov 16 21:18, you wrote to me:   
    MB> \   
    MB> Your crashmail binary appears to be 32bit.   
      
   *I* did *NOT* build this one... it is the *PRE-COMPILED* binary that comes in   
   that cm071linux.zip at the http://eljaco.se site.   
      
   I am surprised it runs on 64b at all... since normally there is something that   
   doesn't work there..   
      
    MB>   What about the jamnntpd   
    MB> binary you built?   
      
   I *HAVE NOT* and *WILL NOT* build jamNNTPd till I resolve which source or   
   precompiled binary or DEB provides a version that works on *64b* with out   
   ruining the JAM base files.   
      
   That is why I asked about the source to use.. as I don't/didn't want to   
   repeath this whole fiasco again...There just seems to be too many versions   
   floating around.   
      
      
    MB> 32bit code will run fine there and honestly not a big advantage with   
      
   Not always.. there seems to be issues v. arch in some cases.. where the 32b   
   binaries won't run... probably has to do with the shared libs...   
      
   And while this thing is using shared libs, it appears that it INCLUDES all the   
   libs in the source and thus really just compiles them in... Above my code base   
   level...   
      
   Not a C monkey, and really not interested in becoming one or a gcc one or make   
   one.   
      
    MB> fido technology with 64bit.   
      
   Yeah, probably true, but I only have 64b systems for most stuff.. The few 32b   
   only stuff I have is dedicated to other resources... maybe if some other   
   clunker comes along..   
      
   And having some source which works so that that this can be compiled on ARMHF   
   for Pi's would be good.... I think they have this in the Pi Raspbian repo, but   
   since the Pi's are still 32b it may not matter.... I've not decided if I am   
   putting all this on a Pi or on one of my VPS setups in the DC yet...for now it   
   can reside on my internal VM setup..   
      
   Whats interesting is this:   
      
   https://github.com/larsks/crashmail   
      
   This is a fork of Johan Billing's CrashMail II distribution. Major changes in   
   this fork include:   
      
       Support for 64-bit operating (POSIX) operating systems.   
      
   Unfortuntaely from a post in Sept. seems this author too has abandoned   
   it...might be interesting to see what it does...but play time is over right   
   now.   
      
   Thanks for the info... I will look at some of this when I have some time.....   
      
   Have to get back to rea life and put the toys away.... :) ;)
