Argg, missed this message. Though really i don't
have a lot of useful
input. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I can't get this machine to perform
well using the RT kernel. Apart from that standard optimisation stuff
works fine. Lots of stuff needs to be compiled as packages are pretty
limited, though MDE has a lot more stuff for x86_64 now than a few
months ago. I haven't run into any programs that just wont work on 64
though. Some stuff requires quite a lot of makefile hacking though. My
CFLAGS go like export CFLAGS=3D"-fPIC -march=3Dathlon64 -mtune=3Dathlon64
-msse2 -mfpmath=3Dsse -O3 -ftree-vectorize"
I'm not sure if ardour build bug is fixed mantis says it's not, but on
mandriva the scons file requires a small change adding the arch flags
to the link flags, otherwise the linker trys to link against no
existant 32 bit libs. Apart from that i don't have any hints, i'd love
to here some though.
Someone (Lee?) mentioned that the jack timing issue can be fixed
using the "clockfix" CVS branch of jack. I grabbed that, and it
compiled fine. I haven't done anything else with it yet. But, I did
give my drum tracks to our guitar player, ardour recorded drumtracks.
Go ardour! Go open source audio+music software!
Cheers...
