Heh, this is open source in action. Someone installs something they like, |
| 10 |
it doesn't work on a platform they want to use it on so they decide to do |
| 11 |
a port! I love it! Thanks to you and Atma we may end up with alpha and |
| 12 |
x86 ports. |

drobbins, is there anything we'd need to do to the packages in the |
| 17 |
portage tree to make them "portable" among archs? I'd think that once |

glibc and gcc are setup everything would just sorta fall into place from |
| 19 |
CFLAGS="" etc. |
