Hi, I am working to get my "pyephem" package done for all available (official and unofficial) ports. The major problem here is that it uses "ascii_strtod() from the file "dtoa.c" by David M. Gray [1] that is machine dependent. That file is used in quite many packages in one or the other form; however I could not find out how to set the defines that it works correctly for all our platforms.
In the moment I have #if defined(__s390__) || defined(__s390x__) #define IBM #elif __BYTE_ORDER__ == __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__ #define IEEE_8087 #else #define IEEE_MC68k #endif However this currently fails for ppc64. Does anyone know how to get this working for *all* platforms, or has a fully compatible drop-in replacement for that function?
