problem compiling client

james · Post by **james** » Wed May 26, 2004 7:11 am

Hello,

I'm running Debian woody on a 2.4.25 kernel and have been playing crossfire for a little while now using the debian packages. I downloaded the newest source tarballs from sourceforge and have installed the server without a problem. The client, however, is causing me problems.

I want the gtk interface (don't care for sdl) and have the necessary gtk, png, etc stuff.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue? I tried running configure with '--disable-sound', '--disable-alsa' and '--disable-alsa9', all to no avail.

I would like to try the new client (as I was using the one packaged with debian -- version 1.2!!).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

I had the same problem. The scripting of the client does not complie very well, so i changed the function 'monitorChild' and another one in scripting.c to do nothing. It compiled and it workd (but i have still a memory leak with the gtk client. The x client works fine)

FYI, setting SDL with smoothing in the client config here got rid of the memory leak for me in the GTK+ client. Have to install the SDL development libraries and recompile but that is a small price to pay to get rid of the memory leak IMO.

Thank you Azriel and poof for your help.

The compile problems were due to some non-ANSI C code. I modifed the source and all went well. (Should I bother passing the diffs to the development team?)

I didn't think that the memory leak would affect me, but as soon as I compiled the client and started using it, it was rathe obvious. I followed your advice, poof, and it went away!

Thanks again!

Please do pass this sort of info to the development mailing list or the sourceforge bug tracker. Especially re: non standard coding issues. Not only do many developers not read the message boards, the mailing list is a historical record of issues and the bugtracker is well... a bug tracker.
