Tom Wagner:

_Make of the new release is failing on my Debian 9 Linode. It succeeds as usual on a Debian 8 server, instance, and on another Debian 9 client machine.

Working from git clone, my re-compile as follows is failing.

qmake "CONFIG+=NOSOUND" Jamulus.pro
make clean
make

throws this error:

--begin example--
src/serverlist.cpp: In member function ‘void CServerListManager::CentralServerRegisterServer(const CHostAddress&, const CHostAddress&, const CServerCoreInfo&, QString)’:

I re-installed the dependencies with apt and re-tried: no joy._

Previous instances, failing on server.cpp, have been where the cloud instance RAM size is too small and/or the server instance needs a full upgrade (not just dependencies for Jamulus).

This could be solved by creating .deb and .rpm files, as well as the Windows and MacOS installs - and maybe even providing APT and YUM repositories for easy update.

I assume that the problem is related to this: #686

[pljones]

Ah, right, yes. That would be why the full upgrade fixes it as it bumps the Qt version.

Vielen dank, Herr Fischer, et al! Back to a clean compile, as usual. Make is now happy on Jesse through Stretch for my systems.

[corrados]

Thanks for the feedback. So, I'll close this Issue now.

Thank you!

Indeed, after fetching the source code directly (git@github.com:corrados/jamulus.git), no compilation errors anymore.
