Description Mikel Olasagasti 2011-04-03 11:00:50 UTC 
While building 2.9.6 and 2.9.8 on Gentoo it fails with the following comment:

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
 *
 * Function `dmap_gst_mp3_input_stream_new' implicitly converted to pointer at dmap-gst-input-stream.c:248
 * Function `dmap_gst_wav_input_stream_new' implicitly converted to pointer at dmap-gst-input-stream.c:251
 *
 *  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
 *  with the maintaining herd of the package.
 *
 * ERROR: net-libs/libdmapsharing-2.9.8 failed:
 *   install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above

Comment 1 W. Michael Petullo 2011-04-03 22:50:44 UTC 
Fixed in Git master. A missing #include meant the compiler was using the implicit function definition. The next libdmapsharing release will contain this fix.
