Still can't even compile Wine at PowerPC-based Linux-box.

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello, All!

The last wine version which at least compiles at my PowerPC fine is 0.9.17.

Since then I can't even compile Wine. It fails with the next message

====================================
../../tools/widl/widl -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include

I have no clue how to debug this, so I would ask you: how can I fix
this strange situation?

You could do a regression analysis with Git, described at the bottom of 
the GitWine Wiki page, to find the patch that changed behaviour.

You need to understand C programming to fix this problem.

Wine on PowerPC won't be able to do very much.  You might be able to run 
winemine and other WineLib programs that come with Wine, but you won't 
be able to run Windows binaries, as they require an x86 compatible 
processor.

Hi Peter,

If all you want is to build a Winelib program for Linux/ppc, you can
try to comment out shdocvw-related stuff from dlls/Makefile.in, and
rebuild. Will work fine if your application
does not want this particular dll.
