#64 par2cmdline-0.4: make check fails

[Steffen Dettmer]

Hi!

I tried to build par2cmdline-0.4 on linux (SuSE 8.2, link 2.4.20, gcc
(GCC) 3.3 20030226) but make check fails in ./test3, 4 and 6:

just in case it helps:

running test3 in gdb produces:

I cannot print stack variables at #4 easily because of the code beeing in .h
file code (--> inline) gdb does not display redsolomon.h but basic_ios.h (some
std::string constructor or something).

I also tried the version of debian etch. The source TGZ is exactly the same but
they have three patches. Additionally, I needed to reduce the AC_PREQ (I just
have autoconf 1.57) and add some include for BLKGETSIZE64. Make check
fails, but at a different position (reedsolomon.h:393).

I also tried libpar2-0.2, but in par2cmdline.cpp everything is commented
out.

I also made several attempts to build gpar, but the dependencies are
really killing. There are heaps of libs needed. I was unable to install
e.g. gtkmm-2.12.0 because of more dependencies, and so on. Seems that
there is no end. I didn't got gtkmm working and I feel unconfortable
with its documentation. the atk/README is 0 byte long :-)).

Any suggestions how to build some `par2' or `xpar2' tool for linux?
