[Kstars-devel] Re: KStars broken on PowerPC

[Jason Harris]

Hi George,

Thanks for the notification.  We do check for the "LINUX" preprocessor define 
in kstars/indi/webcam/Makefile.am.  I guess we thought this was enough.  Do 
you know if there are architecture-specific definitions that we can check for 
instead?

thanks,
Jason
