[XBoard-devel] 64-bit alert

[h.g. muller]

It seems when someone tries to install XBoard from source on a 64-bit system,
the 'make' process results in lots of warnings (args.h, selfile.c, draw.c) 
of a type
that indeed looks quite lethal: "cast from pointer to integer of different 
size".

I guess the current XBoard code is not suitable for compiling as 64-bit 
application.
But apparently we fail to tell the compiler that in our Makefile.

The quick fix would be to include such a flag. (Does anyone know what it is?)
In the longer run we sould have to clean up the code with respect to 
pointer <-> int
conversions. I cannot test anything of this, as I have no 64-bit systems.
