Motto: There is no C code portable to every compiler and every machine.

Nevertheless we want to provide C code as portable as possible. But there are some problems which can be avoided if you read these few lines, before compiling POPEYE by yourself. If you do not want to read any further, take a glance at the makefile.unx .

A lot of compiling this sources was done with the GNU C-Compiler (gcc) and cross compilers based on gcc.
