deepspawn · Post by **deepspawn** » Mon Dec 22, 2003 3:09 am

I have COMPILED the gtk client crossfire-client-1.6.0:
In:
Slack 9.1:
GTK 2.2.4
GCC 3.2.3

./configure --disable-alsa --disable-alsa9

Actually the clients starts and connects to the servers, I can create a new player and do everything BUT MOVE then the client crashes with segmentation fault.

I more info is nedded to track this behaviour request.

Thanx in advance

Try the newer 1.6.1 client tarball or CVS for starters - depending on the server you are using there have been changes to the client that could cause problems (especially older client - newer server and vice versa)
also not sure that GTK2 is good for compiling, I seem to recall something about the GTK client is still relying on older GTK libraries- especially something about key mappings. I could be way off here however and woefully out of touch - we would need more info to figure out the problem really.

Also you can try the crossfire #irc channel or a message to the mailing list for more detailed troubleshooting there is usually linux support hanging around. I haven't had problems compiling since the image code changes just before 1.6.0 but I'm on debian and haven't tried it on slackware.

Under Windows, I compiled the GTK client using GTK2. There are a few flags to set, but apart that it works perfectly well.

I suggest you check Win32-specific settings, in gtk/win32/config.h

The following flags are set for GTK2:
* GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN
* GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL
* #define GC GdkGC (this one may break something under Linux, no clue what it does

)
* G_DISABLE_CONST_RETURNS

Cid, unless you are using slackware linux 9.1 then your posts in this thread are just confusing the issue. This crossposting has got to stop - it makes it twice as hard to help or carry on a conversation when people are constantly posting extraneous things. I am very happy there is a client for windows and that it is being worked on but this poor fellow is not using it, he's using the linux GTK client and has a problem we would like to solve.

I have always used the older GTK libs to compile the client on my debian LINUX system, I am not sure if the GTK 2 libs will work for LINUX. If you can get the older GTK 1.2 development libraries and compile with those perhaps you might have better luck.

NOTE: moved the question and response related to the Win GTK client and black screen/illegal operation to it's own thread.
