4 | The main development of MG is done under Solaris on a Sun sparc.
|
---|
5 | However, we would also like MG to be reasonably portable.
|
---|
6 | Therefore, MG-1.2 now uses a configure stript generated by GNU's autoconf.
|
---|
7 | Below, is a list of the machines that the s/ware has been ported to.
|
---|
8 | Most only need the configure script and some require manual modifications
|
---|
9 | mentioned in the "Problems" field.

108 |
|

109 | * Problems with Dec Alpha
|
---|
110 | - 64 bit length longs as opposed to 32 bit longs.
|
---|
111 | - [email protected] says that there is some bit encoding problems
|
---|
112 | but the decoding seems to work.
|
---|
113 | - [email protected] says that it will compile but will core dump
|
---|
114 | when building the test database.
|
---|
115 | - tes.kbs.citri.edu.au says that he needs to look into the repercussions
|
---|
116 | of 64 bit longs, however, he does not have access to such a machine.

119 | ** Other systems.

|

122 | If this is the case, please send me ([email protected]) a log of the output
|

123 | and I will modify the configuration files in an effort to fix the problems.
