[Freeciv] civclient stability problems under hpcmips NetBSD 1.5 - solution

[sunqist <yorick@xxxxxxx>]

   If anyone else has had problems getting the civclient to work stabily under 
NetBSD 1.5
running on an HPCMIPS platform, try compiling the 1.8.1 version of freeciv for 
the athena
widget based client (./configure --with-Xaw).  When I tested it, admittedly a 
questionable
litmus, this was the most recent version of freeciv that I could get working 
without any
problems.  At the time of this post 1.11.4 is the most recent version of the 
client.  The
symptoms I saw were that the Xaw3d and GTK clients died during load and the Xaw 
client
segfaulted whenever the city popup window was called.
   Thanks again to Reinier for all his help and to everyone who has put work 
into the
freeciv project.  You've done a great job of making a wonderful program 
available to a wide
range of people.
