[Bug] VICE fails to build with gcc 4.0 and/or for AMD64/EM64 machines

The information in this article applies to the following versions of VICE:

PROBLEMEXPOSITION

If you try to compile VICE for an AMD64/EM64 machine, or you use gcc 4.0, the build fails.

CAUSE

gcc 4.0 is much more picky about the C code.

SOLUTION

Get the patches from the Debian bug tracking system #300936 and #295108. The next version of VICE will contain fixes for these issues - not necessarily the same as provided by the debian bug tracking.

STATUS

The VICE team has confirmed this to be a problem in the VICE versions listed at the beginning of this article. It has been corrected in all subsequent versions

LINKS

THANKS

Thanks to Andreas Jochens for reporting this issue and providing patches on the Debian Bug Tracking system.
