Checksum error on dictionary files

[Ed Stafford]

I built OpenBIOS v1.0 on my Fedora 10 PPC system using gcc 4.3.2.
After changing a couple of assembly instructions from 'ba' to 'b', I
was able to compile openbios into a binary.  The problem is, when I
try to run the openbios-unix program with the supplied dict file, I
get the following:

bash-3.2$ ./openbios-unix openbios-unix.dict
Checksum invalid (65a824b7)!
not supported.
bash-3.2$

Any idea what corrupted the file?

Hi Ed,

I'd think you'd need to post a diff containing your changes for anyone 
to have a better idea of how to help. Incidentally you may wish to try 
building directly from SVN as there are quite a few fixes for various 
issues that won't be in the 1.0 release.

HTH,

Mark.

PPC or PPC64?

Are you sure openbios-unix is what you want? What exactly are you  
trying to build here?
