If that is correct and you don't intend to build on kFreeBSD but on linux, that file may eventually not be required. Thus my comment that this may be some code that's only required to build ok on BSD kernels and thus might be ok to patch out on Linux if that isn't a coincidence in header filenames. You may want to discuss the exact details of the x86emu.h source upstream had in mind with upstream though. They surely know best how to get the proper build env set up to build their code. I've just given you the heads up that this file seems to not exist in a generic package in Debian yet so that may be another candicate for a Build-Depends package that should be put together first (or included or whatever). Hope this now made it a bit clearer. -- Best regards, Kilian
