Re: [Swarm-Support] Compiling swarm on debian/unstable

[Paul E Johnson]

If you take swarm-2.1.147, you don't need automake etc. It is made already.

If you have gcc-3.3, it will build, assuming you have tcl-8.3, blt-2.4g 
or better, gperf, emacs, and libtool-1.5.  gcc-3.2 is a known problem 
and won't work, don't bother with it.

I don't know any Debian users, but I feel confident if we find the 
mismatch in the toolchain, we will solve this.
