Appears to compile & execute fine on i686 Gentoo (Intel P3 2x750).
Also on 64-bit Gentoo on an Intel i3.
If nobody else has published a Gentoo EBuild script for packaging, I'll try to publish an updated dillo-3.0 ebuild via bugs.gentoo.org.
Is it possible for the ebuild to force fltk-1.3?
Yes. This is exactly what I was thinking, but doing something like requires =x11-libs/fltk-1.3* if Gentoo's EBuild versioning system allows it. (I'm guessing FLTK-1.3 updates will progress something like 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, ... until FLTK-1.3 and FLTK-2.0 are combined into FLTK-3.0.) I'm going to be stumped if the EBuild versioning system doesn't allow globbing versions with the equals sign. :-/
And while we're at it, you may need to put an explanation about that into the comments stored in the ebuild log, maybe even an ewarn. Otherwise, people will be asking on the Gentoo forum about the "downgrade to fltk-1.3" <G>.
Some great ideas there. I'm a perfectionist at heart and would likely document comments in both the ebuild and filed bug comments. ;-) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
