unmatched data types
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:00 EST
Description of problem: I just tried to compile package diradmin-1.5.1-5 from Redhat Fedora Extras development tree. The compiler said charset.c(185): warning #967: conversion from "char" to "const gchar={char} *"; sizes do not match The source code is tempstring = g_strdup(tempstring2); but char*tempstring,tempstring2; You can't call g_strdup on a char, only a char *. Maybe char *tempstring, *tempstring2; was intended by the programmer ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
A typical mistake done by C programmers.
Can you check if this has been fixed in 1.6.0 already?
Not fixed in 1.6.0.
Thanks for the bug report. At the moment, the Fedora developers don't have time to work on this particular issue. The best way to make sure your problem will get looked on is to report it to the authors of the program. Most upstream authors use a bug tracking system like bugzilla, and more people who know the code will be looking at the bug report there. The upstream bug tracking system to use is: http://diradmin.open-it.org/lists.php Please make sure the bug isn't already in the upstream bug tracker before filing it.
>At the moment, the Fedora developers don't have >time to work on this particular issue. Fair enough. I am willing to wait for a bugfix. >The best way to make sure your problem >will get looked on is to report it to the authors of the program I tried this, but failed. All I got was an opportunity to subscribe to a couple of mailing lists, which is slightly less than useful for my purpose.
Same for me. The project isn't very active, unfortunately.
