Here is a list of the differences between a successful Debian build of gnucash for powerpc and for alpha. I have no idea which of these may be significant, but perhaps one of them will produce an "aha! that can't be right" from another developer.
The only thing that leaps out at me is that the alpha build is including qthreads, and the powerpc build is not. This makes sense, because qthreads works on i386 and alpha, but not powerpc. Or perhaps qthreads doesn't actually work on alpha! Thomas build and host system type PowerPC: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu Alpha: alphaev68-unknown-linux-gnu Maximum length of command line arguments: PowerPC: 32768 Alpha: 65536 Byteordering PowerPC: big endian Alpha: little endian qt_null PowerPC: Found in neither -lqthreads nor -lqt Alpha: Found in -lqthreads guile libraries: The same, except that Alpha has qthreads and pthread; PowerPC does not. g-wrap libraries The same, except that Alpha has qthreads, pthread, and ffi; PowerPC does not. _FILE_OFFSET_BITS for large files: PowerPC: 64 Alpha: none needed CFLAGS: Alpha has -mieee; PowerPC does not. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
