Instruction Set Detection for Linux, BSD and Mac OS

[Gunther]

This is the instruction set detection for the 64-bit *nixes (Linux, BSD, Mac OS). The appropriate 64-bit Windows version can be found here, a 32-bit Windows version exists here. A new thread is necessary, because the 64-bit ABIs for Unix and Windows are very different.

For a detailed description of the files, please check the file readme.txt. The code is well commented and self-explanatory. Here is the output of the program:

A FYI, when unzipped, the exe lost the executable permission.

ls -l ./cpu
-rw-r--r-- 1 gunner gunner 14090 May  8 19:22 ./cpu

Maybe use tar for your *NIX archives?

Gunner,

thank you for testing the software.

yes, you're right. I should form a tar ball, which can be ziped, to meet the requirements of our forum.

you LINUX guys crack me up   :lol:

hey Rob !!! long time no see   :t

[Gunther]

Dave,

you LINUX guys crack me up   :lol:

that's life.

Hey gunther
on my system I get this error.

Which is weird cause I never had a problem running a exe in my home folder (or subfolder) before.

$ ./cpu
bash: ./cpu: cannot execute binary file

That's very strange. But you can re-build the ELF and it should start. Can you try this?
