The -Werror flag is off for Nautilus releases. So this is only a problem if
you are building from cvs rather than from a release tarball.

I'm not sure what caused this problem. It looks like a problem including the
Bonobo.idl file, which seems strange since you say you've successfully
compiled Evolution.

If you'd like to work on debugging this some more, perhaps you could stop by
the #nautilus IRC channel some time.

We're not going out of our way to not support it. The 2nd problem you report
above (the one that's really in your way) sounds like something that's not
platform specific, anyway.

If there are LinuxPPC-specific problems, we'd be happy to fix them. Not sure
what "careless about it" means. We don't have any LinuxPPC systems set up,
but we'd like Nautilus to work on it if possible.
