Package: epm Version: 4.2-6 Severity: normal The setup and uninst GUI programs used by epm to build wizard-like installers are limited to building on i386 and amd64 only. This is an artificial limitation, and is only needed because of the inconsistent state of libfltk and its dependencies with regards to building with -fPIC. On most architectures, libfltk can be linked statically, but on some (kfreebsd-amd64 and mips, as of 4.2-5), the trick to linking it statically is still a mystery.
Static linking is essential because the setup and uninst programs are intended to be copied to other systems and run. Runtime dependencies must be as loose as they possibly can be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
