Hello everyone! Okay, my app here works fine under Windows and i386 Linux, however it won't work on my Linux PS3 which has a PowerPC processor. Since it works on PC Linux, I bet it's an endianess issue. The problem is that I have a binary file that the app uses to load its data. Well, I read a single byte and it turns out to be zero instead of the expected 12. All I do here is fgetc() for single bytes and fread() for strings, so I don't know how endianess applies here... Any ideas? Thanks in advance! If I connect my microwave to my PC, will I be able to download food? I posted a question, haha

Hard to tell if your problem is due to endian issues or not. I'm not going to explain what big/little-endian is or the details of the issues involved. See: http://developer.apple.com/document... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102025 http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/b/big... for some information. Use google for more info. The PowerPC is bi-endian. It can be switched from one mode to the other programatically. But if you are reading a previously foreign formatted stream, you are going to have to do the conversion yourself, in your code. If you really want to understand this you need to write a couple of Assembler programs, some on a little-endian box (Intel e.g.), some on a big-endian box (IBM mainframe e.g.). Low level code should really support both/either. See the TIF file specification for example: if you process TIFs you must be able to handle either format. So ..... how does your code use 'fgetc' to read e.g. a 4 byte 'int'??
