hatman won't compile [was james@pharaoh0.demon.co.uk: Re: [jgoerzen@complete.org: Bug#39294: hatman: Error in error]]
Hi!
Here are upstream comments on a bug against a package, hatman,
that wouldn't compile on Debian Alpha. Please, somebody from
the mailing list, help me fix this, preferably in form of patches,
since I don't know C++... :(
BTW John, you should insert the word "Debian" after that "unstable" in
your default form for these bug reports, so upstream people don't have
any doubts about it.

Eek, I'm not sure what to do. This caused me problems at one point so I took
it out of the new version but that isn't into alpha yet ;(, erm, the library
seems to have a different printf function, but I couldn't tell you why,
although...

If it is an "unstable distribution" it could be a new library version. I don't
actually have access to this kind of system so I'm not sure what I can do
about it. The only thing is if you (or whoever actually was compiling this)
can modify the source. It should be just a matter of changing the functions
passed as argument 2 as above to use whatever options it needs. Then we can
put #ifdefs in to identify this kind of system but as I said I dont have any
access to that kind of thing...
Incidentally, I would be interested to know if this can work on a DEC alpha. I
suppose with all the cross platform work people have been doing with libraries
and ggi it should work... Sorry I can't help much more than that, except to
wait for the new version (which should be a month or two).
