Hello guys. I'm using the march=native to build my apps but...

I've got an Intel i7 2600k (Desktop) and a i5 (don't remember what) for my laptop.

What should I put instead of march=native? Just a standard arch=x86_64?

Thank you guys!

For 64 bit desktop systems, arch=x86_64 is used.

For 64 bit systems, -march=x86_64 can be used. However, more specific values are legal if all the CPUs in question understand the features enabled by that more specific value. The OP needs to find the highest -march that enables only features present on both his laptop and desktop CPUs. If I recall correctly, -march=core2 produces code that runs correctly on all the Intel iN CPUs. A higher value may be possible.

GSnake,

Find out what -march=native produces on both systems.
Now set CFLAGS= to all the items they have in common.

Thats as good as it gets. Its not quite that easy, as the common -march may be neither.

How can I see what x86_64 produces?

GSnake,

There has been a similar discussion here earlier today.
