Hi Peter and Joe,
Yes, the patch works.
Using latest source from fossil, in OpenEmbedded on x86_64 host OS, cross-compiled for 32-bit i686 target.

Just to be sure, tested some of the 32-bit utilities, 'picscale', 'popup' and 'welcome1stboot', that were compiled in OE.
Running on a i686 OS, they work.

That's a relief!

Hi barry,

That's great news! The patch doesn't look that difficult. I'll see if there is a way to make this permanent without the code getting too platform specific.

Hi Peter,
The patch file is now in OE, so there is no problem continuing to use it.
It will likely continue to work well into the future, with a fuzzy-match on future releases of BaCon.

Hello Barry and Peter

Glad to hear you have the latest bacon compiling
for your build in open embedded
that's a large advancement from bacon 3.9.3 to the latest in fossil!
many new things were added since then and all for the better

Peter is always very busy making improvements
and providing tech support for all of us here on the forum !
