Package: avifile-utils Version: 1:0.7.43.20050224-1 Severity: important I see no reason why this package should be restricted to just PCs. I wish to modify avi files on my Mac.
The main oddities of the powerpc port are: 1. byte order is big-endian, so casting and unions may be bad 2. the "char" type is unsigned by default (use "signed char" as needed) Along with the problems you've already handled for the x86-64 port (data type sizes, lib64, and any abuse of assembly code), the above should cover pretty much everything needed to support all Linux ports. So you can consider this a request to allow building for all the other ports as well: alpha, hppa, sparc, mips...
