sparc solaris build

[Srdjan Matovina -- Customer Engineering]

Hi,

I've built wine-20011226 on sparc with the only one issue left open:

The resource compiler wrc core dumps when hit the bitmap (BINRES) part of .rc 
file.
There is an alignment problem inside convert_bitmap() in newstruc.c file. The 
alignment problem came out from BITMAPINFOHEADER struct.

But this was just the beginning!

I've commented out body of convert_bitmap() just to see what will happen when 
run libtest/hello test case. After running wineserver, the libtest/hello core 
with the same problem: Program terminated by signal BUS (invalid address 
alignment). This time at different place: RtlSecondsSince1970ToTime from 
ntdll.so (time.c) struct FILETIME.

Obviously I'll have an alignment problem with every structure in general.

Is there any guideline for this kind of problem?

Thanks Srdjan

Hi Srdjan,

Few weeks ago I asked for a friend of mine which wanted to do exactly what 
you're trying to do - so I suggest you browse the archive to read those old 
emails..

Also, could you (when you're reaching some milestone in this port) give back 
the diffs please? or is this a closed source project? I know lots of people 
who got those blade machines who would love to run Wine.

Thanks,
Hetz
