01:27 < Guest410> i keep getting "SCLang illegal instruction"
02:10 < Guest410> is there any way of making it work on an amd athlon xp 3000 :) ?
02:16 < claude> the build log says: NOTICE: cross compiling for another platform: assuming SSE support
02:17 < claude> and also:  -msse -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -DNOVA_SIMD 
02:18 < claude> among other things, i'm no supercollider expert so i don't know what NOVA_SIMD does; and i can't remember if athlon xp supports sse2 or just plain sse
02:20 < claude> Guest410: do you see sse2 in /proc/cpuinfo ?

02:21 < claude> ah, that would be the problem then

"the athlon XP has SSE support, but no SSE 2 support for 32 bit athlons
though its there for athlon 64's , and no, there is no patch for it and
there never will be ... its a hardware thingy" --

I think we should support AMD athlon-xp processors for Puredyne
packages.  Seems SC3 has a problem here.
