The package is basically 'just' an x86 only binary. Though, in ubuntu, we have all of its dependencies compiled for 32bit in the package ia32-libs. So it should be possible to run xtrkcad on amd64 without chroot (because we have all libs compiled for 32bit). Though, this solution is way from optimal, since there is a report in the debian bts, #318369, that this software eventually became free software, with a repo at sourceforge.net I did a quick checkout of the repo there, and indeed found some source there. But it seemed to be mostly abandoned software, the build system is in a unsatisfactorily state and needs much work. So unless somebody doesn't really do some work on the upstream side on this, I fear that this software is not going to be developed any further, sadly :( -- Reinhard Tartler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
