<warning>
<para>The current source tarball uses CRLF line-ending (DOS Format). This causes
problems during the compilation. Once you extract the tarball, convert the files
to UNIX style line endings using <xref linkend="hd2u"/>.</para>
<screen><userinput><command>find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix --d2u</command></userinput></screen>
</warning>
