If a agree with you, writing in binary 1 & 0 will make machine understand what do you want to do! There has to be convertion between hexes to binaries and since hex is not binaries, what does the conversion! Machine does not giva a damn to anything else except if there is another binary written as a translator who translates hexes back to binary. Any idea?

I'm very new to this, i ask in a very dummy questions to know the basics - only overview, no technical stuff....

THANKS
That's the job of the assembler. It converts hex strings to machine code in the instruction set of the mpu and ofcourse the separation of data and instructions.

C compiler to build Sparc/Solaris binaries on Linux

Just that the Subject says. I am looking for a C compiler for Linux x86 that will allow me to compile a C source code file and the resulting binary will be able to run on a Sparc running Solaris. Thanks. (2 Replies)

Module::Install::Compiler(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Module::Install::Compiler(3)

NAME

       Module::Install::Compiler - Commands for interacting with the C compiler

SYNOPSIS

	 To be completed

DESCRIPTION

       Many Perl modules that contains C and XS code have fiendishly complex Makefile.PL files, because ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't itself provide
       a huge amount of assistance and automation in this area.

       Module::Install::Compiler provides a number of commands that take care of common utility tasks, and try to take some of intricacy out of
       creating C and XS modules.

COMMANDS

       To be completed

TO DO

       The current implementation is relatively fragile and minimalistic.

       It only handles some very basic wrapper around ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

       It is currently undergoing extensive refactoring to provide a more generic compiler flag generation capability. This may take some time,
       and if anyone who maintains a Perl module that makes use of the compiler would like to help out, your assistance would be greatly
       appreciated.
