Linux version?

Hi. I'm not the greatest linux user, so I was wondering.
Is the linux executable format crossplatform? Say, could I run Linux on my Apple iBook (Ubuntu) and run the Linux version of BlitzMax? Cause if not, I won't wipe my OS X install :)

No, it is not. OSX has its own executable format. And each second OSX version is slightly different as well

I know that. But I was thinking about running Linux on my iBook, so I just want to know if the executables for BlitzMax will run on it :)

I think it assumes PC byte order (Indianness) for Linux so that may cause problems, would be an interesting experiment!

AFAIK (which ain't far at all <g>), it looks like "BlitzMax Linux" compiles are limited to "32-bit PC Linux." But I'll be interested in learning if otherwise.

It also assumes a CPU able to execute Intel op-codes.

Well any processor that can execute i386 instructions I would imagine.

Supposedly an Intel Mac would do just fine. AFAIK there aren't any Intel iBooks tho'.

Sure, if you get Linux running on an intel mac ... thats the other problem ;-)
And not only the EFI is the problem but the fact that Linux is a slow ass OS, so it will take its time until it works with CoreDuo ;-)
