vdr-plugin-vnsiserver: compiling error

[ilgiznurgaliev]

Hi, I have just tried to compile the plugin but got the folowing error:

This is on Centos 7 with installed vdr 2.2.0. streamdev and dvbapi plugins have been compilled without any errors.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks and regards, Casper.

There are two compiling issues for vdr-2.2.0

You need to change in vnsiclient.c:1954:16 resp.add_U32(); to resp.add_U32(0); and in status.c:248:29 change (_i)->TimerChange(); to (_i)->SignalTimerChange();

these changes helped me to compile it for vdr-2.2.0

Thanks Karl for your responce. After the changes you suggested it is still failing:

vnsiclient.c:1954 resp.add_U32(0); status.c:248 (*i)->SignalTimerChange();

Probably something else also should be changed? Any idea please?

your build system does not meet requirements. either it lacks pkg-config or properly installed vdr.pc
