[quake3] Re: Running q3ded on PPC

[Chad Gatesman]

I get the same thing on my Sparc, but if I modify your code:

int main( void )
{
#ifndef __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER
printf( "Q3 has no clue!\n" );
return 0;
#endif

printf( "Q3 thinks this machine is " );

#if __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
printf( "little endian\n" );
#else
printf( "big endian\n" );
#endif

return 0;
}


I get:

bacardi:/tmp> ./a.out
Q3 has no clue!

I just checked a couple other architectures (ai32, Alpha, Power4), and I
can't find __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER or __LITTLE_ENDIAN defined on any machine.
This is why the test chooses little--because they are both undefined
therefore equal one another. Perhaps a more generic #define should be used
in the code, and the appropriate value be set for each arch in the Makefile.

I guess I was lucky when building on my Alpha as it is little endian.
