64bit AMD or Intel

[bojce]

I can`t find 64bit version of ypops, and i wonder is there any plan`s for this?
I`m a Ubuntu 64bit user, and i hope there is a chance for me (and other users of 64bit distros). Any help,news, plans...?

We don't have access to a 64-bit system currently.

What you can do though is to get the code from CVS and compile it on a 64-bit system, if there is a real need for it.

The 32-bit version otherwise should work just fine on a 64-bit system. Are you facing some problems which prevents it from working?

Last week i move from Ubuntu 7.04 32bit (with ypops) to 64bit. I didn`t install ypops because i can`t find 64bit version.
I would like to use ypops on my PC, but i`m not familiar to compile. When i try to install ypops_0.9.5-1_i386.deb, package installer show an error: wrong architecture. What next?

(Sorry, but english is not my vernacular language)

bojce, I'm in the same boat for the millionth time. If I'd known so little software was available for 64 I'd have bought a different chip!

Hopefully Google will teach me how to compile. :/

Using this information from Thomas Skariah's Blog, I was able to edit the source from Here and compile for my 64-bit version of Ubuntu Gutsy.

Of course it isn't automated, binaries need placed in the correct spot, log folder needs created, etc. But it's working fine as far as recieving mail. I have not yet had a chance to test sending mail.

Hi Thomas,

I had to make some changes before it would successfully compile on an AMD64 system (Xubuntu 6.06 x86_64, 2.6.15-29-amd64-generic):
1) Cleared PLATFORM_FLAGS from Makefile
2) src/ServiceClient.cpp Changed:
2a) UINT ServiceClientThread(void *lpParameter)
to UINT ServiceClientThread(int lpParameter)
2b) SOCKET sock = (reinterpret_cast<SOCKET>(lpParameter));
to SOCKET sock = lpParameter;
3) src/ServiceClient.h Changed:
3a) UINT ServiceClientThread(void *lpParameter);
to UINT ServiceClientThread(int lpParameter);
4) src/SmtpListener.cpp Changed:
4a) UINT ServiceSmtpClientThread(void *lpParameter);
to UINT ServiceSmtpClientThread(int lpParameter);
4b) logFile.Write(LOG_ADVANCED,"Got SMTP request on socket %d\n", (int)socket);
to logFile.Write(LOG_ADVANCED,"Got SMTP request on socket %d\n", (int)sockfd);
4c) UINT ServiceSmtpClientThread(void *lpParameter)
to UINT ServiceSmtpClientThread(int lpParameter)
4d) SOCKET sock = (reinterpret_cast<SOCKET>(lpParameter));
to SOCKET sock = lpParameter;

Thanks and hope the above helps.

Hope this helps someone out there, and hopefully someday I'll figure out how to build a .deb package.
Binaries are available, just ask. Though I'm not 100% sure what all would be needed aside from the binary, anyone have ideas on dependancies? I just haven't had time to look yet.

debian package is now available for 64bit version of Ubuntu also. Check YPOPs for Ubuntu for the instructions.

Thanks!

I just ported ypops to 64-bit with mimepp 1.3.5

I had to do lot of rebuilds and code search.

Most notable changes were made to makefiles and couple of places in ypops code to handle 64-bit pointers correctly.

If anyone interested in that then I can pass on my code as zip file to them.
