It all went well until some way into the build itself:

riscos/bitmap.c:33:18: fatal error: rufl.h: No such file or directory

Indeed find can't find rufl.* in the workspace folder.

I didn't see any message flash past earlier about any missing files -
but that's no surprise, there's lots of text, only a small window,
and slow eyes watching.

Any suggestions?

Btw. it turned out that the cheap Linux notebook, which I had dismissed
as not being good enough to support 64 bits, actually has 64 bit
Ubuntu 14.04 on it. So it's been easier than I thought - in some
respects, anyway.
