Has anyone ported xfishtank to FreeBSD? Mine compiles cleanly, but seg
faults when I try to run it. If no one has ported it (it doesn't
appear to be in the ports section at cdrom.com) I plan to.
If anyone has any info on xfishtank (Version 2.2 from x.ftp.org) email
or post, please. This is the only platform I have at the moment, so I
cannot see if it faults on other platforms... gdb tells me that it is
doing a div by zero by leaping WAY out of the bounds on an array. I
haven't started hunting down the reason yet, tho.
If anyone can tell me if 2.2 compiles on other platforms, that would
be cool -- at least I know the release isn't broken per se. (I kind
of wonder, since there is no real install info, and one of the files
that it needs to create ("makeh") isn't done by xmkmf or make. (and
in fact isn't even in the Imakefile or Makefiles...)) I create it by
hand ("cc makeh.c -o makeh") and then do make all, which compiles
cleanly, but as I said, dumps core.
