#137 Crash during startup, won't compile, and other problems

[Anonymous]

I include below patches that fix many problems with zinf that I see on my Fedora 7 system.

Problems:

Problem 1. When running zinf, you get an error like the following:

(<unknown>:2854): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 32

(<unknown>:2854): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 32

(<unknown>:2854): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 32

(<unknown>:2854): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap: assertion `pixmap == NULL || gdk_drawable_get_depth (window) == gdk_drawable_get_depth (pixmap)' failed
The program '<unknown>' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 1333 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Workaround 1. Set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 in your environment variables.

Problem 2. When zinf exits, you get a backtrace with an error related to g_free().

Solution 2. Apply the patch below.

Problem 3. The compiler gives various compile errors when trying to compile zinf, including errors associated with Player::SetEQData(), Player::SendVisBuf(), assert(), and url_type().

Solution 3. Apply the patch below.

Problem 4. When running 'make install', the make fails with an error trying to execute ./config/mkinstalldirs.

Solution 4. Use the build script below to build zinf.

Problem 5. You get compile errors associated with c4_Row::Select() or
boost::filesystem.

Solution 5. Use the build script below to build zinf.

I hope this is helpful.

I couldn't figure out how to attach the patch, so here is the patch.
