Please complete the following information about your configuration: - FreetuxTV version: freetuxtv-0.5.1 - Linux distribution and version: Gentoo - VLC version: 1.1.7 - ISP: Virgin Media

Describe here your problem: FreetuxTV fails to compile with the newer version of libnotify (0.7.1 in this instance).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? A clean compile, but here is the compile error message:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""/usr/share/locale"\" -DPACKAGE_SRC_DIR=\""."\" -DPACKAGE_DATA_DIR=\""/usr/share"\" -pthread -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/libpng14 -I/usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I../lib/ -Wall -g -march=core2 -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -msse4.1 -msahf -mcx16 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o main.o main.c mv -f .deps/freetuxtv-window-main.Tpo .deps/freetuxtv-window-main.Po mv -f .deps/freetuxtv-window-recording.Tpo .deps/freetuxtv-window-recording.Po main.c: In function ‘freetuxtv_log’: main.c:991: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size main.c: In function ‘main’: main.c:1057: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size main.c:1078: error: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’ make[2]: * [main.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /var/tmp/portage/media-tv/freetuxtv-0.5.1/work/freetuxtv-0.5.1/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/var/tmp/portage/media-tv/freetuxtv-0.5.1/work/freetuxtv-0.5.1' make: * [all] Error 2

I can confirm this (still Gentoo) with libnotify 0.7.2 and freetuxtv-0.5.1 (didn't test with 0.5.2 yet)

main.c:1078:3: erreur: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’ /usr/include/libnotify/notification.h:114:21: note: declared here

0.5.2 also fails

Simply removing the last NULL argument line 1556 of main.c solves the problem, but the libnotify version dependency should be updated.

(see http://developer.gnome.org/libnotify/0.7/NotifyNotification.html#notify-notification-new)

I see, but i have to make a compilation option for new and old version of libnotify, to be comptabible with current distribution like Ubuntu 10.10. Maybe, i will work on this tonight if I have time.
