今天在FreeBSD 5.4 Release中安裝Firefox， 先更新ports tree到最新版本：

FreeBSD# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile

然后到Firefox的目錄中去執(zhí)行make:

FreeBSD# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
FreeBSD# make

沒多久，系統(tǒng)就爆出了編譯錯誤：

nsHostResolver.h:95: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `PRAddrInfo' with no type

引起這個問題的原因是Firefox在老版本的nspr上會存在問題，無法通過編譯！
需要安裝
Port:　 nspr-4.4.1_1
Path:　 /usr/ports/devel/nspr

今天在看微軟關(guān)于fat格式的白皮書的時候看到了一個名詞:Little-Endian

什么是Big?什么是Little?要理解這個問題,必須要知道數(shù)據(jù)在機器中存儲的規(guī)則.....

    所謂的Little-Endian,就是我們在學(xué)習(xí)匯編時候的高高低低原則,而Bit-Endian就是剛剛相反,例如:12345678h這個數(shù)據(jù),在不同機器中存儲是不同的

                 Big-Endian                                      Little-Endian

0字節(jié)            12h                                                    78h

1字節(jié)            34h                                                    56h

2字節(jié)            56h                                                    34h

3字節(jié)            78h                                                    21h

Little-Endian主要用在我們現(xiàn)在的PC的CPU中,Big-Endian則應(yīng)用在目前的Mac機器中(注意:是指Power系列 處理器)

關(guān)于優(yōu)點和缺點,網(wǎng)上討論的很多， 自己去看一下吧...

 

PS:關(guān)于Endian這個詞語,我在網(wǎng)上看到其意思和起源
