The keyedit(1) and +setup123(1) commands mentioned in the man page have not been +ported yet. + +This software hasn't been maintained in 30 years, so it's a good idea +to *never* run it as root. + +Since this is based on a binary i386 release of 1-2-3, it only builds +on 32-bit x86. You *might* be able to build in on x86_64 if you have +AlienBOB's multilib packages installed, but the SlackBuild author +hasn't tested this. If it won't build on multilib, you can still build +it on a 32-bit Slackware system, then install the package on multilib +(it should run just fine). + +This will *not* build on ARM or any other non-x86 CPU. |
