Besides that you should There is an alioth project 'debian-ppc64.alioth.org' with an almost complete native ppc64 port and a buildd for unstable running. Note that this project is different from the efforts to add a 64-bit kernel and some 64-bit libraries to the 32-bit powerpc userland. > never use kernel headers from userland.

How does this redirection work? On ppc64 the 32-bit alternative powerpc library has to be compiled with -m32. The /usr/include/linux has the 64-bit ppc64 kernel header files installed. Currently, the --with-headers switch is used to point to the 32-bit ppc kernel headers for the 32-bit compilation. Without that switch the build fails. What has to be done to avoid the --with-headers switch? Regards Andreas Jochens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
