Hi, I am having a problem to compile udpcast 20070602 with gcc 3.22. After I ran ./configure then make I got this error messages: ------------------------------------------------ gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wshadow -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DUSE_SYSLOG -DUSE_ASSEMBLER -O6 -DNO_BB -I. -I. -c -o udp-receiver.o udp-receiver.c cc1: unrecognized option `-Wdeclaration-after-statement' make: *** [udp-receiver.o] Error 1 ------------------------------------------------ Does anyone have similar problem ?

problem with SAS modules

Hi, I'm trying to get udpcast to work via PXE with our machines. Our SEAGATE ST973402SS (SAS) harddisks are not detected automatically by the udpcast linux kernel, which I downloaded from http://udpcast.linux.lu/20070622/linux > From the output of dmesg, SCSI subsystem initialized Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.01 Copyright (c) 1999-2005 LSI Logic Corporation and the output of lsmod, I am guessing that the right module for the HD is 'mptsas'. Hence, I guess I need to compile a kernel for udpcast. I read in your website that one should use your boot image generator. However, this tool is only distributed as a RPM binary. When using Debian's 'alien' tool to convert the RPM to a .deb package, I get: dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture amd64 does not appear in package's list (i386) which makes sense, since our arch is amd64. What's the most intelligent way to go from here? Should I get a hold of the sources for udpcast-mkimage-20070622-1.i586.rpm to build udpcast-mkimage myself? Where are the sources available? Is there an easier way to go about all this? Thanks a lot, /P

udpcast oom?

Hi there, I've been testing udpcast for various applications, and have found that when running, on the client boxes the udp receiver process often gets killed by OOM. Is this a known issue? Thanks, Mark Steele Information Systems Manager Zango E: mark(a)zango.com P: 514.787.4681 | F: 514.787.4707 If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
