Created attachment 94094 [details, diff] Makes the thing work on ~ppc
Sorry, can you please clarify this? It's currently marked stable on ppc. What's wrong w/ that?
It may be a fault of my installation, but without the patch fbpanel failed to load the plugins (.so dynamic libraries) because they have references to the get_line() symbol, which is defined in the fbpanel binary, but for some reason symbols weren't exported to dynamic-loaded modules. Also, I needed to add -fPIC and -fpic to compile position-independent code, otherwise module loading failed due to fbpanel not finding symbols in the modules (it says they are out of memory boundaries).
Hmmm OK, thanks.
It actually already has -fPIC, but passing -E to ld does fix it here.
Fixed in CVS, thanks for the report!
