Re: [Gm2] Installing on Sparc

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi,

I know a few subscribers to this list have expressed interest in
getting gm2 running on the Sparc platform so I thought I'd drop a
small note. I've just installed gm2 on a Sparc Ultra 1 running Debian
GNU Linux.

I had to apply the following patches to get it working (which I've not
yet committed to the cvs repository).
