I compile both Hamlib and Xdx on Debian amd64 (also Intel 64 such as Core Duo which I have on my laptop) and i386 distributions. As both use GNU Autotools to build (the other popular build system being cmake) the repsective packages, nothing special needs to be done when using GNU tools as the tools take care of these issues for the developer. As the Elecraft tools appear to use Wxwidgets and a few other common toolkits available on the average Linux distribution, I suspect a simple rebuild--perhaps even a cross build--is all that would be required. I don't have the Elecraft utilities installed on my laptop running Debian amd64 as I don't want to have to wade through double the package listings in Aptitude! Also, the box running Debian i386 is always hooked to the K3/P3 anyway. 73, Nate, N0NB >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
