I had "compiling A+" sitting on my my back burner for enough years
and I finally did it this week. Not on 64bit though, my old 486
running FreeBSD-4.7 had to make do. With just 48MB RAM, it took
about three continuing days to compile/swap this C++ project.
I had to make a simple amendment in two places:
src/IPC/p{String,Simple}_Connection.C
lacked an #include <sys/types.h> right before the
#include <netinet/in.h>
Other than that, everything else compiled just fine on this system.
A quick simultaneous attempt at compiling A+ 4.20 on Debian-Etch/x86-32bit
yesterday during work started fine and compiling managed to proceed
through many of the subdirs but eventually aborted with a type
compatibility problem. I wasn't able to give it a closer look yet,
and anyway: I'm no C++ programmer.

The platform list contains quite a lot 64bit of sup****ted platforms, so
your
re****ts would be certainly within the scope of the project.
As far as I understand www.aplusdev.org, there's currently no mailing list
anymore. I guess using this newsgroup is fine. I would certainly be
interested to hear of any A+ related re****ts.
