Hello Matt!

*I* did *NOT* build this one... it is the *PRE-COMPILED* binary that comes in
that cm071linux.zip at the http://eljaco.se site.

I am surprised it runs on 64b at all... since normally there is something that
doesn't work there..

I *HAVE NOT* and *WILL NOT* build jamNNTPd till I resolve which source or
precompiled binary or DEB provides a version that works on *64b* with out
ruining the JAM base files.

That is why I asked about the source to use.. as I don't/didn't want to repeath
 this whole fiasco again...There just seems to be too many versions floating
around.


 MB> 32bit code will run fine there and honestly not a big advantage with

Not always.. there seems to be issues v. arch in some cases.. where the 32b
binaries won't run... probably has to do with the shared libs...

And while this thing is using shared libs, it appears that it INCLUDES all the
libs in the source and thus really just compiles them in... Above my code base
level...

Not a C monkey, and really not interested in becoming one or a gcc one or make
one.

 MB> fido technology with 64bit.

Yeah, probably true, but I only have 64b systems for most stuff.. The few 32b
only stuff I have is dedicated to other resources... maybe if some other
clunker comes along..

And having some source which works so that that this can be compiled on ARMHF
for Pi's would be good.... I think they have this in the Pi Raspbian repo, but
since the Pi's are still 32b it may not matter.... I've not decided if I am
putting all this on a Pi or on one of my VPS setups in the DC yet...for now it
can reside on my internal VM setup..

Whats interesting is this:

https://github.com/larsks/crashmail

This is a fork of Johan Billing's CrashMail II distribution. Major changes in
this fork include:

    Support for 64-bit operating (POSIX) operating systems.

Unfortuntaely from a post in Sept. seems this author too has abandoned
it...might be interesting to see what it does...but play time is over right
now.

Thanks for the info... I will look at some of this when I have some time.....

Have to get back to rea life and put the toys away....
