Package: ghemical Version: 1.51-1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
The latest version of ghemical makes some assumptions about relative type sizes that hold only on 32-bit platforms, leading to build errors on 64-bit platforms: } ./project.cpp: In member function 'void project::RenderScene(graphics_view*, project::rmode, bool)': } ./project.cpp:2588: error: cast from 'atom*' to 'i32u' loses precision } ./project.cpp:2651: error: cast from 'atom*' to 'i32u' loses precision } ./project.cpp:2711: error: cast from 'atom*' to 'i32u' loses precision (See http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=ghemical&ver=1.51-1&arch=alpha&stamp=1123736439&file=log&as=raw for a complete build log illustrating the problem.) Having taken a look at the code, my conclusion is that a proper fix may take some doing -- the current logic involves attempting to stuff a pointer to an atom object into a slot (defined by the OpenGL API, so not feasible to change) that only accepts unsigned ints, and then to convert it back on demand, whereas setting up and using a formal index would be safer. Alternatively, I suppose it would be possible to keep the current architecture relatively intact by arranging to convert pointers to and from *pairs* of ints on 64-bit platforms (which, BTW, should be detected by having configure check sizeof(void*), not by hardcoding a list of relevant architectures). At any rate, I'm afraid I don't have time to offer up an actual patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
