Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Any Beos versions work on AMD64-type PCs? Post 302491115 by Corona688 on Wednesday 26th of January 2011 05:43:51 PM

BeOS was discontinued before the amd64 architecture was even invented, and its modern descendant(OpenBeOS/Haiku) will remain remain binary-compatible with it. So yes, a bit of a dead end.

It's possible to run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit computer, of course. x86smp support suggests it'll even use multiple cores while doing so.

PERLHAIKU(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					      PERLHAIKU(1)

NAME
perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku DESCRIPTION
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems. BUILD AND INSTALL
The build procedure is completely standard: ./Configure -de make make install Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl: chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.16.3/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so . Replace 5.16.3 with your respective version of Perl. KNOWN PROBLEMS
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311: o Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM. o The ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet. o A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support yet. o The tests lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t and lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation. CONTACT
For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: http://ports.haiku-files.org/ <http://ports.haiku-files.org/> The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>. Last update: 2008-10-29 perl v5.16.3 2013-03-06 PERLHAIKU(1)
