gcc-3.2.2 / libc-2.3.1 / gnome 2

gcc-3.2.2 / libc-2.3.1 / gnome 2

[Aleksandar Ilic]

Hello, list !
Recently I upgraded my Slackware 8.1 (gcc-2.95.3 / libc-2.2.5) to Slackware 9 
with gcc and libc as in subject.

I've found several programs refusing to compile, including gMFSK-0.4.1, 
Qsstv-5.2d and LinKT-0.8rc2.

There was a variety of reasons. gMFSK needs gnome-config, which no more 
exists. Qsstv and LinKT reporting some violations with C++ class rules

Did anybody solved similar problems ? Any advice is appreciated.

Kindly,
Alek

I usually run into ./configure problems with QSSTV relating to the
qt libraries I have available on my machine (Slackware).  ./configure
complains that the versions I have are too old. (They're not!)  If I
manage to get past the configure issues (by manually bypassing the
"problem" steps in the configure script), compilation then fails
during the linking stage.

I found a compilation issue with qsstv-5.1a using gcc 3.2.2 and notified
the author, not realizing a later version was available.  I haven't yet
successfully compiled 5.2d.  Now I need to recompile qt from source to
generate the needed threaded (or qt-mt) libraries that weren't generated
the first time I compiled it.  :-(

*Sigh*

It was easier for me to write my own "quick and dirty" SSTV generation
program than to get QSSTV to compile.  So far, I can only generate 120
line 8 second black and white video (plus 8 lines of grey scale), but
that's all I need it to do at this point.

Yes, there was real nightmare to compile 5.1 with qt-3, but as I remember, I 
somehow manage to do it. But 5.2 on Slack 8.1 (and 8.0) worked with a simple 
./configure; make; make install.

Obviously, Linux (again) stepped forward, and developers are late (again).
Last time, when the "next step" was qt-3, it takes to me 2-3 months to have my 
software up-and-running again.

Actually gMFSK (0.4.1) needs GTK+ 1.2.x and Gnome 1.x. It won't work with
Gnome2/GTK2. In practice of course lack of gnome-config might be the first
thing you notice if you try to compile it without having GTK1/Gnome1 devel
stuff installed.

Anyway, I will be releasing gMFSK 0.5 soon. It's written for GTK2/Gnome2
so should work for you. Now I just need to stop adding new modes and
features to it and make a release...

Yes indeed. There was a bunch of missing libs, as I wrote today.

That's a good thing to hear ! Next we just have to alarm HB9JNX/AE4WA and 
ON1MH that theire software becomes rusty :)
