Running on Sparc
 

Iam trying to run NSIS on a Sparc Ultra 5 running Debian. I picked up the latest CVS and built the software but I keep running into a "bus error" when I try to build even the example files. Can someone point me in the right direction on this one? TIA

Bus error

nsis isn't portable to 64bit platforms, you may be seeing a symptom of that.

Should work with 64-bit as far as I know. The problem is, at least with SPARC, unaligned memory access.
