Package: vlc Version: 0.8.4-svn20050823-2 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS
Hi, vlc seems to fail to build from source, due to problems in modules/gui/wxwidgets/open.cpp, trying to cast a wxWX2MBbuf (which really aliases to a wxCharBuffer) into a "char *". (Example on line 1336; there are three others in the same file.) However, that won't work, since the wxWX2MBbuf is const, and now only has an operator const char * (and likewise, data() gives a const char *). Probably the wxWidgets people changed something along the way... IMO, the proper solution here is either to remove the const from wxWX2MBbuf and use data(), or enforce const correctness all the way down in the probe modules. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.8 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii dbus-1 0.23.4-6 simple interprocess messaging syst ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-1 Library for decoding ATSC A/52 str ii libaa1 1.4p5-28 ascii art library ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdc1394-13 1.1.0-2 high level programming interface f ii libdvbpsi4 0.1.5-1 library for MPEG TS and DVB PSI ta ii libdvdnav4 0.1.9-3 The DVD navigation library ii libdvdread3 0.9.4-5.1 Simple foundation for reading DVDs ii libflac7 1.1.2-3 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.5-3 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-6 GCC support library ii libgcrypt11 1.2.1-4 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13.1 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.1-4 library for common error values an ii libgsm1 1.0.10-13 Shared libraries for GSM speech co ii libhal0 0.4.8-7 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-7 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii liblircclient 0.7.1pre2-6.1 LIRC client library ii libmad0 0.15.1b-2.1 MPEG audio decoder library ii libmodplug0c2 1:0.7-5 shared libraries for mod music bas ii libmpeg2-4 0.4.0b-2.1 MPEG1 and MPEG2 video decoder libr ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libogg0 1.1.2-1 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libraw1394-5 0.10.1-1.1 library for direct access to IEEE ii libsdl-image1 1.2.4-1 image loading library for Simple D ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-5.3 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libslang2 2.0.4-4 The S-Lang programming library - r ii libsmbclient 3.0.14a-6 shared library that allows applica ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtar 1.2.11-4 C library for manipulating tar arc ii libtheora0 0.0.0.alpha4-1.1 The Theora Video Compression Codec ii libvorbis0a 1.1.0-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.1.0-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxinerama1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.20-1 GNOME XML library ii libxosd2 2.2.14-1.2 X On-Screen Display library - runt ii libxv1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System video extension li ii ttf-freefont 20031008-1.1 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii wxvlc 0.8.4-svn20050823-2 wxWindows frontend for VLC ii xlibmesa-gl [ 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 Mesa 3D graphics library [X.Org] ii xlibmesa-glu 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages vlc recommends: ii ttf-thryomanes 1:1.2 A Unicode font covering Latin, Gre ii videolan-doc 20040819-1 documentation for the VideoLAN str -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
