Bug#300696: luxman: FTBFS (amd64/gcc-4.0): cast from 'char*' to 'unsigned int' loses precision

[Andreas Jochens <aj@andaco.de>]

Package: luxman
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When building 'luxman' on amd64 with gcc-4.0,
I get the following error:

g++ -Wall -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -I..    -c -o lf.o lf.cc
lf.cc: In function 'int get_param_name(char*, char*)':
lf.cc:103: error: cast from 'char*' to 'unsigned int' loses precision
lf.cc:103: error: cast from 'char*' to 'unsigned int' loses precision
lf.cc: In function 'char* get_str_param(char*)':
lf.cc:160: error: cast from 'char*' to 'unsigned int' loses precision
lf.cc:160: error: cast from 'char*' to 'unsigned int' loses precision
make[2]: *** [lf.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/luxman-0.41/src'

With the attached patch 'luxman' can be compiled
on amd64 using gcc-4.0.

Regards
Andreas Jochens
