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.
