Hi,
I am new to the firefly forum. I just bought a SoundBridge Radio.
I made a patch (for 1586 and 1696) to compile firefly with zlib < 1.2.0.4 (the first version with gzip output support). It was used to install firafly on an embedded system (Siemens M740AV) with zlib 1.1.3.
Technical blurb: This patch also makes more checks for return values. BTW, firefly was using the deflateInit2 parameter windowBits=8 (in fact, 24 which means 8 with gzip wrapper), but 8 bits windowsBits is buggy. Since 1.1.4, zlib fixes it internally by setting it to at least 9.
Unfortunately, I don’t see where I can post this patch: there doesn’t seem to be attachments on the forum, and I don’t have a login to create new tickets.
I just sent it to one of the authors, dunno if it’s the right way to go.
Fred
