Hello there,
[ Please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed. ]
I'm afraid I need help here as I don't know how to proceed.
The blender package fails to build on mips{,el} ever since release
2.40. When using g++-4.1 it hits an ICE[0], when using g++-3.x the
linking fails[1]. With the architectures being out of sync this
prevents migration to testing, so at the moment a year-old version of
blender is in etch which isn't quite desireable for release. :(
If anyone could possibly get blender to compile on mips and/or mipsel
please tell me how to do it.
Cheers,
Flo
