[gst-devel] a couple of comments on swfdec

[Santiago Garcia Mantinan]

Hi!

I was trying to compile swfdec on a Debian Woody, where we only have gtk
2.0.2 and not any newer version, so I added --disable-pixbuf_loader to
configure to avoid needing a newer gtk, however compilation broke with this
error:

text.c: In function `swfdec_text_prerender':
text.c:353: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
text.c:353: request for member `pdata' in something not a structure or union

I went over it and didn't find anything that could be wrong, however I later
came with this patch that solves the compiling problem, I'm wondering if
what I wrote still has the very same meaning of what was written and how
this could be fixed in a cleaner way.

Hope this helps a bit.

Also, the Mozilla plugin won't compile with mozilla 1.4, but that is another
story and maybe you have it fixed on cvs :-?
