Ok, at the risk of being locked I'm posting this . I've been thru miles of posts about cflags and march commands and found lots of athlon specific code but no athlonxp information. I plan to totally redo my linux install when 1.4 comes out, and I'd like to do it right this time. So, can anyone give me the proper march settings and cflags for an athlon xp 1600+?. I'd like to have gento compiled specifically for that processor, I don't care if it breaks it on another architecture. I do a lot of video editing and gaming so any optimization I can get would be helpful.
Also, has anyone started a list of march and cflag commands for differentt processors? That would be helpful.
Thanks,

well I'm pretty sure the march flag for an athlon xp is - athlon-xp |

if you change the flag can you run emerge -e world to recompile everything with the new cflag? |

As therobot mentioned, -march=athlon-xp has been available starting in GCC 3.1. It's described here. Some other optimization-related GCC documentation is here. These links are to the 3.1 manual.

And it would be even more helpful if it was all in the same place, rather than in lots of different little overlapping threads, so how about using CFLAGS Central?

Yep. You yourself mentioned how helpful it would be to have a central list of this sort of information, so I hope you won't get too upset. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |
