#6 SSL Support Missing With GNUTLS Library

RJ — Fri, 22 May 2015 03:24:38 -0000

This might be enlightening:
localhost kildclient-3.0.1 # pkg-config --cflags gnutls

localhost kildclient-3.0.1 # pkg-config --libs gnutls
-lgnutls

I don't appear to have any cflags set for gnutls. The outputs as represented above were in Makefile and src/Makefile.

However, adding #define HAVE_LIBGNUTLS 1 and recompiling did present the Use SSL option, and I was able to successfully make an SSL connection to a server. So, that worked! Given the effort I expended to fix this prior to reaching out, I'll remember to keep on top of any automatic updates that might break it in the future. Thanks for the help! :)

#6 SSL Support Missing With GNUTLS Library

Changing that and recompiling should be all that's necessary to enable support. However, since something didn't work right with the configure script, it might not have added the necessary compiler flags to link the library in the Makefile. But you can add them there, on my system they're just

LIBGNUTLS_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/p11-kit-1
LIBGNUTLS_LIBS = -lgnutls

(add them to Makefile and src/Makefile). You can get the exact flags necessary with

pkg-config --cflags gnutls
pkg-config --libs gnutls

The disadvantage of the manual edits is that if the configure script is run again they might be overwritten.

As for why the kcconfig.h file is wrongly generated, I have no idea. But looks like a bug in autoconf or its related programs.

#6 SSL Support Missing With GNUTLS Library

Ah-hah! The contents of that file would verify your conclusion.
kcconfig.h:
/ Do we have the gnutls library? /
/ #undef HAVE_LIBGNUTLS /

So, despite being detected in configure going by the config.log, and not specifically excluded as a build option, it is not being defined in kcconfig.h, and therefore not being compiled in.
If I change that line to '#define HAVE_LIBGNUTLS 1' and recompile, is that likely to work? Or is there a more optimal way for me to go about this?

Check the generated kcconfig.h file to see what it says about HAVE_LIBGNUTLS. Even though your log indicates that it was detected, the behavior you see suggests that it was compiled without SSL support.

SSL Support Missing With GNUTLS Library

RJ — Wed, 20 May 2015 05:21:02 -0000

Hi! I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I've exhausted every possibility I could think of to check, so I'm reaching out here.
After compiling Kildclient on my Gentoo Linux system, I initially suspected a build flag issue, as the new/edit world window never offers the checkbox for SSL support.
I then compiled kildclient-3.0.1 from source, and verified that it is set to build with the GNUTLS extensions.
The config.log file reports:
configure:5566: checking for LIBGNUTLS
configure:5573: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls"
configure:5576: $? = 0
configure:5590: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls"
configure:5593: $? = 0
configure:5637: result: yes

Near as I can tell, it is compiling with the gnutls-3.3.10 package I also have installed. However, the Use SSL checkbox is still missing on my dialog. If I try to connect to a world using the SSL port, the main window says I'm connected... and nothing else happens. I do not get the prompt I might otherwise expect from net.c that says SSL support was not compiled in.

I'd really like to figure out what I'm missing! Maybe it's something trivial that configure isn't checking for that I'm expected to have and do not? Please let me know what else I can offer to try to figure this out.
Thank you!

not sure if this is the right spot or not.

I am looking for some scripting examples, I am wanting to make a group of triggers, that will keep track of the amount of money i spend at the slot machine, and the total winnings.
should be simple enough. my problem is, i don't know where to find some examples on how to set and use variables in this client, so could some one point to a resource please.

Problem with KCWin

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:50:03 -0000

I'm a ex-z/cmud user and am truthfully estatic to finally find a linux client that suits my needs in programability.

One of the features I wanted to explore was the KCWin plugin, see what it does and how it responds, etc. There's one slight problem though, I can't get it to work.

I had v2.6 installed, trying to run /KCWin->new in that version caused a segmentation fault and trashed the active program.

I pulled in the sources through svn and compiled it, now I get an error and still no window. The errors are below. I didn't think this was a bug but rather a problem on my side of things. Any ideas?

Perl Warning: Use of uninitialized value in bless at /usr/local/share/kildclient/plugins/KCWin.pl line 72.
Perl Warning: Explicit blessing to '' (assuming package main) at /usr/local/share/kildclient/plugins/KCWin.pl line 72.

Error on run

Anonymous — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 19:07:51 -0000

KildClient installed alright, and will start up, but when I try to connect to a server I get the following error:

Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/share/kildclient/ /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/share/kildclient/kildclient.pl line 14.

alias files executed via functions defined in kildclient.plx

Anonymous — Sat, 12 May 2007 23:13:03 -0000

I have an alias function that will read aliases from a file and execute a set number of lines in a loop, sleep, and repeat.

Now when I execute one of my aliases within kildclient, it'll pause for about 4 to 5 seconds then send the entire file which results in my connection getting killed by the server. I never see the sleeps. When I change the code to and run it from a command line prompt with normal print statements, I actually see the sleeps. I think the problem or reason I'm seeing what I'm seeing is due to the world->send function. On big aliases, the server will kick me out due to the rate at which I'm sending data. The whole purpose of my code is to chop up huge alias files in to small chucks so the server doesn't kick me out.

I'm hoping someone has some insite for me.

alias syntax in a plugin

Wulfen — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 20:34:18 -0000

I'm trying to write an alias that will let me pass a
parameter to a called subroutine. This is an example
target subroutine:

my $targetsub = sub {
my $target = (@_);
$::world->echonl($target);
return undef;
};

I can't have a direct subroutine call in an s/// set,
but I can use a reference, hence the syntax above.

This works, when loaded into a plugin:

$::world->alias({
name => "achaea:tb",
pattern => qr/^sen (.+)$/o,
substitution => '"sense $1"',
perleval => 1,
});

This doesn't:

$::world->alias({
name => "achaea:tar",
pattern => qr/^tar (.+)$/o,
substitution => qr/&$targetsub($1)/xo,
perleval => 1,
});

But this does:

$::world->alias({
name => "achaea:tar",
pattern => qr/^tar (.+)$/o,
substitution => qr/&$targetsub()/xo,
perleval => 1,
});

I'm not certain why. The syntax above that doesn't work
in kildclient does work on the command line:

perl -we 'my $xxx = sub { print "this is $_[0] xxx
sub\n"}; my $text = "tb xyz"; $text =~ s/tb
(.+)/&$xxx($1)/e'

(Of course, can't 'use strict' or it will break.)

Is there a way to use a subroutine as the action for an
alias? If not, perhaps I'll make a feature request.

I can't code in C++, but I'm willing to offer other help.
