Quoting Lars Joas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel:
:I recently tried to get gtk-gnutella to run on Solaris 8 and I
:encountered a few issues. This is with a recent build from cvs.
:
:* Configure fail to check for libiconv that is needed. It failed during
:linking instead.

Yes, unfortunately I'm not a big fan of autoconf, and I don't know it
very well.

:* I get a segmentation fault in a gm_snprintf() call in
:parq_upload_find(). It seems like the name field in the gnutella_upload
:struct is sometimes NULL. When I check for that case (u->name ?
:u->name:"") it doesn't coredump any more. But this is probably just a
:band-aid over the symptom. Any other suggestions? 

This is very weird.  I don't think u->name could be NULL at that point.

:* gtkg manages to crash solaris for me! If I leave it running for awhile
:my machine is rebooted. It can take a few hours, so it's not easy to
:debug really. This is an old SparcStation 20 that has been running with
:no problem whatsoever for at least half a year. Maybe my patchy fix
:above causes this?  

NO.  NO.  NO... ;-)

Whenever a user-space program crashes the machine it means either there is
a bug in the kernel, or the hardware is faulty and the user-space program
just happens to trigger the bug.

It can never indicate a bug in the user-space program, unless the kernel
does not know how to handle a core dump without crashing!
