Compiling for 64 bit? 
March 26th, 2008, 06:45 AM
| | | |
Apache, PHP and MySQL are all running in 32 bit on a Solaris server
that is 64 bit. The main problem I have is I need 64 bit integers so
I have 2 questions:
If I compile PHP for 64 bit, do I need to compile Apache in 64 bit
also? (My VPS came with everything installed as 32 bit except for the
OS, it is 64 bit. So, ideally, I would not like to have to go through
compiling everything.)
Where would be the best place to look for a precompiled PHP5 for
Solaris 64 bit?
Thanks,

apache..via stdout IIRC. Quote:

You'll need source for everything to compile it into 64-bit. It will
also be slower as memory access for 64-bit applications has a
performance penalty over 32-bit applications.
