I'm not sure if this is a gtk problem, but I'm not allowed to shrink tabs such as 'Description' 'Tag' and 'eMail' down once I get them as small as these names. I really don't care about users' email addresses, so in other DC programs I just shrink these tabs down to oblivion.

Me neither. However, it would be nice.

Is there anyway to compile this without having to upgrade GCC?

i compiled the client everything went ok : no error messages

However when i connect to a hub i have forllowing error:

Userlist doesnt load properly
- example - i know hub has 90 users and it loads only 11 of them and it is terribly slow

Can it be port issue?
i selected TCP and UDP port 9176 (the same one as valknut uses)

well you can try to only emerge new gcc (i recommend 3.4.3 since 3.4.4 has some bugs)
and then try to switch to new compiler , compile the client and then switch to old compiler


Code:

# nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords


add following lines

Code:

~sys-devel/gcc-3.4.3.20050110 ~x86
sys-devel/gcc-config ~x86
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ~x86


then install gcc

Code:

# emerge gcc


then list available compilers

Code:

# gcc-config -l 


this will list the available compilers with corresponding numbers like here
Code:

[1] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.4 *
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3
[3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-hardened
[4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-hardenednopie
[5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3-hardenednossp


then switch to new compiler

Code:

# gcc-config -2


- of course change the number which corresponds to gcc-3.4.3 on your machine

then do

Code:

# env-update && source /etc/profile


this command will tell computer to use new compiler in your CURRENT console

after that
you can in this console compile the client

and switch back to old gcc-3.3 using gcc-config

....im not sure if this will work - i can assure you it wont do any harm to your system :)

What DE? If it's not XFCE4.2, consider using menumaker. It's available in portage for installation.

Btw, if you're going to use a compiler it's either the 3.3.x series or the 4.0 series. gcc 4.0 is fairly bleeding edge, but it's going to be developed faster than the 3.4.x series IMO because a lot of mainstream OSes are including 4.0 as their primary/backup gcc compilers (Mac OSX Tiger and Fedora Core 4 are just some of them).

I have a problem with linuxdcpp, (usually) long messages don't appear. I read something in the bugs section of linuxdcpp that someone had problems with utf-8 so used luit to run the program with ISO-8859-1, but that didn't work either. Anyone encounter anything like this?

I've just posted a bug on bugs.gentoo.org requesting that linuxdcpp be added to portage. If anyone feels like trying out the ebuild it's in bug #102733. Any comments on this ebuild?

The ebuild at b.g.o is a bit out of date. There's been some new patches to ldcpp since that posting and since it won't get included until a release is made I haven't updated it (a release is due soon...)

How to install dcpp.

you know dcpp looks really promising... as a matter of fact if it wasn't for the fact that it segfaults every time I try to download anything, it would be the perfect dc client for linux ;)

why the heck was this made to compile only with the unstable gcc?? Who came up with this bad idea? I heard that gcc 4 will be stable before 3.4 (if 3.4 ever reaches stable at all)

Any chance of some updated screenshots of linuxdcpp ? There don't appear to be any in this thread, and no screenshots at all on the website :?

The gcc team... It's because a bug in the gcc 3.3 series and it's handling of templates.

Btw a beta release is on it's way...

no but I mean, why wasn't linux dc++ made so it could be compiled under gcc 3.3.x?

Why rewrite good valid code to overcome a bug that is already fixed?
And I guess the main reason is that since linuxdc++ is using the DC++ client part and that doesn't have this problem since it is developed in MS visual studio. They didn't (and don't) want to change anything that the DC++ team won't incorporate in the DC++ client.

When did you get the ebuild? I've been rewriting it since some of the patches are in the sources right now.

Btw it seems like you didn't get the patch for SConstruct.
It should work soon... (I hope :?: )

I have all files that are found here: http://dx.homelinux.org/gentoo/portage-overlay/net-p2p/dcpp
It seems like ebuild does not apply this patch however.
Btw thanks for working on ebuild for dc++. I really appreciate this.

The latest version (as of 2005-09-30) doesn't crash alot for me but there is a nasty deadlock that can occur when you open a new window.
There's been some major changes to dcpp but they are internal rewrites for making the code faster and easier to maintain. Påskharen has promised a realease soon (as in when it happens :)) so hopefully we will get it into portage then. And that will make it a lot easier to maintain the ebuild / patches.
