Youre out of luck, nobody will give you an account on an m86k machine, what
would that be? We have here an m88k machine, but I guess youre talking about
m68k (sigh, these x86 folks...)
If this bug were easy to fix, I would have done so, but it seems it requires
some c++ knowlegde... plus I the error msg did not say much to me, except
that it does not compile...
Somehow I have the impression that the code used is arch specific, when I
see this
*** [../x11/release/intel.o] Error 1
we dont use intel processors, I hope you know what m68k stands for?
If you have an idea what to fix, send me a patch and Ill try it at home. If
you think you can fix it yourself, we might dig out a temporarily user
account for you, but Xevil is in non-free, so maybe its illegal accoriding to
debians new law+order to do xevil development on debian machines...
Being in non-free its also not important for the debian release, its just
another bug. And Im not going to learn c++ now to fix this package.
My machine is not on the net (cant afford that), so I cant give you an
account there.
Ciao,
Christian.
