I don't know. First, guess why lcd4linux has "linux" in its name :-)

I know that some BSD guys failed long time ago.

Maybe some x86 specific low-level port access stuff in drv_parport will fail (which should be removed anyway)

you may find the scsript "smoketest.sh" useful, because it will try to compile lcd4linux with all possible combinations 
of sinlge driver / single plugins.

As a first try, I would try to compile it --with-drivers=null --with_plugins=none to make sure there isn't a very basic 
problem somewhere.



regards, Michael
