I tried to download the gatos driver, but the configure script failed
with a "Wow" error. Here's an excerpt from the script:
------------------
case "$host" in
i386-*-linux*)
{ echo "configure: error: --- Argll !!" 1>&2; exit 1; }
;;
i486-*-linux*|i586-*-linux*|i686-*-linux*)
echo "$ac_t""--- Running Linux !!" 1>&6
ArchRunning="x86Linux"
;;
i386-*-freebsd*|i486-*-freebsd*|i586-*-freebsd*|i686-*-freebsd*)
echo "$ac_t""--- Running FreeBSD" 1>&6
ArchRunning="x86FreeBSD"
;;
i386-*-netbsd*|i486-*-netbsd*|i586-*-netbsd*|i686-*-netbsd*)
echo "$ac_t""--- Running NetBSD" 1>&6
ArchRunning="x86NetBSD"
;;
*) { echo "configure: error: --- Wow" 1>&2; exit 1; }
esac
--------------------------
I don't know scripting well, but it looks to me like it is designed to
fail on ppc hardware. How do I get this to compile?
