[CF-Devel] Problems running the latest CVS

[Jan Tobias Muehlberg]

Hi,

after spending four hours in eating two bags of Chinese 'Soft
Melon Candy' and compiling the latest CVS of crossfire on SunOS 
5.5.1 I am not very satisfied with what I did. It was quite hard to get
this Python stuff compiled but now the server does not start properly,
which shouldn't have anything to do with Python.

Startup fails with the following messages:

---------------------------------
[...]
Questions and bugs should be mailed to above address.

SIGSEGV received.

gdb says:

---------------------------------

Any ideas?

Beside this: When I ran configure I was somewhat happy to see that you
are checking for snprintf() now. But you are not using the result of the
check, at least in server/spell_effect.c the function was still used. 
I fixed it by inserting:

---------------------------------
#include <stdarg.h>

int __vsnprintf(char *str, int size, const char *format, va_list ap);

int snprintf(char *dest, int max, const char *format, ...)
{
  va_list var;
  int ret;

  va_start(var, format);
  ret = __vsnprintf(dest, max, format, var);
  va_end(var);

  return ret;
}
---------------------------------

Perhaps this schould be default for SunOS without having snprintf().


Thanks in advance,
                   J. Tobias
