Re: xarchon trouble

Pete,

  Are you on the list?  If so, I wouldn't mind getting a copy of that
core.  If not... well, I'll have to contact you by other means since I'd
still be curious.  :)  Also, assuming again that you are on the list (I am
an optimist, ain't I:), what versions of libaudiofile and esd/libesd do
you have? 

Ronen,

    While compiling 0.5 I got warning for canvs.c on lines 712 & 723 about
arg 1 of canvas_mouse_drag_event & canvas_mouse_button_event being of an
incompatible pointer type.  The make bombed on human.c with:

human.c: In function `human_joystick_update':
human.c:106: storage size of `js' isn't known
human.c:110: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
human.c:111: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
human.c:114: `JS_EVENT_AXIS' undeclared (first use this function)
human.c:114: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
human.c:114: for each function it appears in.)
human.c:118: `JS_EVENT_BUTTON' undeclared (first use this function)
human.c:106: warning: unused variable `js'

    I had similar problems with 0.45 but it looks like you've been dealing
with that. I did a make clean, edited the config.cache and reran configure
and the make and it work. 
    I know, I should have use the option to configure to disable the
joystick.  That failed in 0.45 so I thought I'd cut to the chase.  I
tested after the fact and --disable-joystick failed again. 
    My joystick driver is probably dreadfully out of date and improperly
installed at that.  Since descent, I haven't wanted to use the joystick
for much of anything.  I got too good at the keyboard.  :)

PS:  the Banshee attach is cool looking.  Good work, who ever did it!
