fs_amigados.c - fails compile due to incompatible pointer types

[ve7it]

Greetings,
I am using a current up to date x64 arch system.

I have noticed a build problem on arch as shown below:

gcc -o fs_amigados.o -c ../sources/fs_manager/fs_amigados/fs_amigados.c -O3 -I../sources/ -I ../../libhxcadaptor/sources -I ../../build -Wall -fPIC -Wl,-Map,foo.map
../sources/fs_manager/fs_amigados/fs_amigados.c: In function ‘HxCadfInitNativeFct’:

I suspect this has just shown up due to tighter compiler rules.

I will check this, maybe this just need a recast.

Which gcc version are you using ?

[ve7it]

Hi Jean-Francois
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 15.1.1 20250425
thank you for having a look at this.

[jfdelnero]

I just tried with the today released gcc (15.2.0).
I don't reproduce the issue. I will retry with the 15.1.1

[ve7it]

Hi Jean-Francois
still seeing the same issue with (GCC) 15.2.1 20250813.

I am not sure how the pointer needs to be cast to make the compiler happy.

[jfdelnero]

On which Linux are you working ?

[jfdelnero]

I have just fixed a wrong declaration in the adflib headers.
Please retry and let me know if this help.

Package is still broken from the arch AUR. It is building fine when I clone from this git project.
The AUR build uses (https://github.com/jfdelnero/HxCFloppyEmulator/archive/refs/tags/HxCFloppyEmulator_V2_16_11_1.tar.gz) as its sources (which doesnt build).
I notice that there is a newer tagged version (HxCFloppyEmulator_V2_16_13_1.tar.gz) from April, but I have not tried to build it.
I will do some more investigation on how to get the arch AUR manager to pick up correct sources.
cheers

[jfdelnero]

ok so this means that the fix is working.

For Arch i understand that :

• I need to make a new release.
• The Arch AUR link need to be updated to this future release.

[ve7it]

correct.
I have flagged the AUR project as out of date. If you make a new release, I can work on getting the AUR project up to date.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hxc-floppy-emulator is the Arch AUR page for the project.
Thank you for your help

[jfdelnero]

I now understand why i didn't manage to reproduce the issue: this was fixed by this commit right after the last release :

8302f4e

so yesterday have just fixed the same issue in others "adf_nativ.h" files ...

[nguillaumin]

I am maintaining the AUR package. So if I understand correctly we need another release, correct? I tried with the last release 2.16.3.1 but it's still failing, which is explained if there was a fix after the last release.

[nguillaumin]

@jfdelnero Any chance a release can be made soon? Thanks!

[jfdelnero]

No, this is not yet planned : There are too few changes since the last release. probably next year.

This patch made by Cursor.
My gcc is 15.2.1 20260214 (Gentoo 15.2.1_p20260214 p5)
It works ok in my environment.

@kitahei88 I don't understand the purpose of this patch : These modifications are already on repository.
