Hi -
I had exactly the same trouble with wrc trying to compile on the PPC
architecture. A quick hack removing the byteswapping got me past that,
but now winebuilder is broken. I've changed all the .align directives
to .balign's, because I _think_ that causes the correct behavior on the
PPC. But, now I'm getting:
/tmp/ccA3BDf3.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccA3BDf3.s:27355: Error: alignment padding (1 bytes) not a multiple
of 4
...while trying to compile ntdll.spec.c Unfortunately, the line number
given by the assembler is just the last line of the file, so I don't
know where the trouble really lies. And I can go through the assembler
file to ensure that every .balign directive is, in fact, passed a
multiple of 4 and I still get this error.
Does anyone know where, besides the .balign directives, I should suspect
the source of this error to be?
Thanks!
- Josh.
