I've set up an old single core athlon with debian 6.0.8-i386 (the final version
of squeeze) in order to compile old versions of yoshimi which won't compile on
the latest version of debian testing, but I've hit a really odd problem. The
programs seem to compile perfectly, with no errors reported, but they won't
run. As a cross-check, I tried to compile the latest yoshimi version as well as
the latest version of zynaddsubfx. Again no compile errors are reported but
running them fails.
zynaddsubfx give an error 'illegal instruction', while yoshimi gives
'segfault'
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

check the build flags for sse (-msseX) instructions and remove them. As
far I remember those old athlons didn't support them.

Thank you very much for such a quick and absolutely accurate answer :)
Now I can do the comparisons I've wanted to do for quite some time.

If you should compare sound quality, take care of the settings. IIRC I
experienced the sound of zynaddsubfx as cleaner, better than the sound
of yoshimi and I guess I missed that there are interpolation settings. I
might confuse it with another test I made, I don't know if the
interpolation settings have impact to the sound. But from memory, as far
as I remember, I compared both, zynadd's sound was better, but I made a
mistake and some settings differed, so the test I made was incorrect.
:D
However, if you should compare both or versions of one synth regarding
to sound quality, CPU usage or whatever else, please let us know your
results.
TIA,
Ralf
