Description Michael Wyraz 2006-09-13 08:43:55 UTC

capifw compiles fine on amd64 (execpt the small error in bug #) but clients cannot connect.
the problem is that the protocol uses some "unsigned long" and "long" values. these values are 8byte long on 64bit systems.

temporary solution:
- in src/protocol.h remove any "long" keyword

final solution:
- change the protocol data types to platform independent values. requirements for the types are documented in the initial comment in protocol.h
- test the solution :)
