I meant the s390 port of Debian, of course. Somehow, despite the fact that it is not yet officially released, it does work. Debian's Jabber package compiles on s390 as well, though I can't say whether it works or not. > The errors I get are: > > ./shtool scpp -o pth_p.h -t pth_p.h.in -Dcpp -Cintern -M '==#==' > pth_compat.c pth_debug.c pth_syscall.c pth_errno.c pth_ring.c pth_mctx.c > pth_clean.c pth_time.c pth_tcb.c pth_util.c pth_pqueue.c pth_event.c > pth_sched.c pth_data.c pth_msg.c pth_cancel.c pth_sync.c pth_attr.c > pth_lib.c pth_fork.c pth_high.c pth_ext.c pth_string.c > ./libtool --mode=compile --quiet gcc -c -I. -O2 -pipe pth_debug.c > In file included from pth_debug.c:29: > pth_debug.c:52: unbalanced `#endif' > [and all downhill from here] Is this 1.3.7 or 1.4.0? You can see a complete build log for 1.3.7 at: http://people.debian.org/~mdz/libpth-s390-buildlog.txt Which builds a normal shared library, one with debugging symbols, and one with profiling. As you can see, the generated libtool script is not quite perfect for some reason, but it does manage to complete the build. -- - mdz
