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 a

There is a Debian maintainer with an alpha machine who can install the gnucash build dependencies in a chroot on his machine. Since gnucash fails utterly on alpha (with a crash as soon as a register is opened) this seems worth investigating. I don't have time in the near future. Is there a deve
