Subject: [Linux-ia64] Endian problems when migrating program from HP-UX to RedHat Linux
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 03:54:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590693005417@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi,
Currently I am trying to migrate a program from HP-UX to RedHat 6.2 Linux
(on Dell PowerEdge2400 server). I am facing endian conversion problem. From
HP homepage learned that Linux is little endian whereas HP-UX is big endian.
If I am not wrong there is a gcc option to generate big endian code
(-mbig-endian), but I learned that this option is only applicable to Linux
on advanced RISC machines (ARM). I think Dell PowerEdge2400 server is using
Pentium III so I guess it is not an ARM machine. Do you have any idea how
can I actually get big endian code using my current Dell PowerEdge2400
server? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Yap Tan Sing
