Thanks Volker! I try to compile the esps60.6.linmac.src.tgz<http://ldc.upenn.edu/myl/esps60.6.linmac.src.tgz>on my Debian 10.1, but failed with a lot of warnings and errors. Unfortunately, the warppers does not work either.
Most of the errors focus on the static libraries, such as libhdre.a, libhdrw.a, and so on. Is there any work should do before compile?
