No, just the generic type (sparc or x86).



So are there any compiler flags that determine whether its for sparc or
x86? or just compiling it on AMD makes it portable to any x86?

Sun Studio isn't a cross-compiler.

I may be wrong, but I'm sure leaving out -xarch is the same as
-xarch=generic, so yes. You have to be explicit if you want 64 bit.

Thanks MAN!!, yes my new AMD m/c still has to be set properly to read
those man pages...hence I was looking for something online, I got it on
the SUN's webpages...

in bash,

MANPATH=<where you put studio>/SUNWspro/man; man cc
