CVI on Linux64 ?

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,
so far I've only ever used CVI for Linux on 32 bits systems (for both the
compiler and the runtime).
Do they both work on 64 bit distros ?

Because we don't officially claim support, we haven't done extensive testing, but I have tried it and things seem to work.  You can find more information on this thread.  Note you're still just creating 32-bit applications that are running on the 64-bit OS.

Thanks, I'll try it out then. I didn;t want to waste time installing a 64-
bit distro if there was no chance of it working.

Hmmm, still it's only a bunch of options passed onto gcc, I guess it'd only
require playing with them to get a full 64-bit executable...

Well - the problem is that the cvi libraries (libcvi.so etc.) are only 32-bit.  This limits you to creating 32 bit applications if you are going to link against the CVI libraries.
