Hi, The fact is that rplay doesn't seem to compile against newer gcc versions. I never used rplay for anything, and I think I remember some conversation (maybe in this same list or in workers) about getting rid of it in fvwm, or maybe it was just a comment, I don't really remember.
There's a bug open at bugs.gentoo.org[1] and they are thinking about getting rid of rplay. Someone else pointed out the fact that fvwm needs it. My question is this: as far as I know, rplay is used *only* to play system sounds via FvwmEvent, is that correct? And second: that same functionality can be reproduced (also using FvwmEvent) with virtually any command line player, like play, mpg123 or whatever. Is there any loss of functionality that I am not aware of if we do so instead of using rplay? If 1) rplay is only used for system sounds and 2) we can use virtually any other player to do the same work in conjunction with FvwmEvent then rplay is pointless and fixing it to work with newer gcc versions is a waste of time. Please, kindly let me know what do you think about this reasoning. Thanks everyone. [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283207#c3 -- Jesús Guerrero
