zlib error crashes server 1328

@nsr wrote:

Built/installed mt-daapd-svn-1328 on RedHat 9 system. Build is clean except for some warnings about implicit declarations of some str* functions in 4 files.

Server comes up and works with iTunes 6.0.5 on MacOS 10.4.7.

On Roku running 2.5.171, server is visible. When I try to connect, Roku gives ‘cannot connect to server’ error.

Running -d 9 logging gives following trace

The version of zlib in rh9 is zlib-1.1.4-8.7x.

Any thoughts?

BTW – newbie to this project. Thanks for putting in all this work.

Ah, yeah. I just stumbled onto this last week. Have to have zlib > 1.2.

Thanks for pointer. Roku can now connect properly with zlib-1.2.1.2.

For anyone trying to build under RH9, the ./configure flags I used are

–enable-sqlite –enable-flac LIBS=-lm CFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE

LIBS needs this because some versions of libFLAC contain an unresolved reference to log().

CFLAGS gets rid of the 4 final implicit function declarations warnings

Nice. Thanks for posting that info.
