Package: gmpc-plugins Version: 11.8.16-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I want to use the gmpc-albumview plugin but it is not built as part of the stable release. I checked at https://gmpclient.org/plugins and it is still listed. I downloaded the source from the link (http://download.sarine.nl/Programs/gmpc/0.20.0/gmpc-albumview-0.20.0.tar.gz) on https://gmpc.fandom.com/wiki/GMPC_PLUGIN_ALBUMVIEW. This fails to build due to following error: [...] libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -pthread -I/usr/include/gmpc -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/ -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libmpd-1.0/ -DPIXMAP_DATA_DIR=\"/usr/share/gmpc-albumview/icons\" -g -O2 -MT albumviewplugin_la-plugin.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/albumviewplugin_la-plugin.Tpo -c plugin.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/albumviewplugin_la-plugin.o In file included from /usr/include/string.h:630:0, from /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n-lib.h:24, from plugin.c:3: /usr/include/libmpd-1.0/libmpd/libmpd-internal.h:210:10: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘__extension__’ char * strndup (const char *s, size_t n); ^ plugin.c: In function ‘load_list_itterate’: [...] This unhelpful message is caused by the redeclaration of strndup(), it is also declared in string.h. The declaration in libmpd-internal.h is protected by #ifndef but HAVE_STRNDUP is not defined in config.h #ifndef HAVE_STRNDUP char * strndup (const char *s, size_t n); #endif Adding #define HAVE_STRNDUP to config.h gives me a useable build but I don't know enough about autotools so I had to make the addition manually. The problem seems to be associated with older versions of the C library not providing strndup(). Several other plugins were disabled as a workaround to fix Debian Bug report #807735 so a proper fix for this should work for them also. A workaround like this should have reduced the severity of this bug not closed it!
