I got many messages as these: config.o(.text+0x3798):/usr/include/stdlib.h:302: undefined reference to `__throw'
(Translator's note: I can compile it without a flaw (Sarge, 1.3.22 and 1.3.27) )
So can I now, if I had not been THAT darn stupid. Please look above: config.o (an object!) gave the errors.
Hmm, yes. I've been running sarge for quite some time now, so it's little wonder that I didn't spot that :-\
Considering that I upgraded from Woody to Sarge (meaning libc6 and gcc), it's not a big surprise that I could not compile with the old (stale!) objects.
The same will happen when you (eventually) upgrade to etch - there's another C++ transition on the way.
A simple "make clean" did the trick. I am truly sorry about this stupid question of mine, of course everything works fine.
You could use my packages or the official Debian vdr package in unstable; if you're using xine-lib, it'd be better to use my packages since vdr-plugin-xine isn't in unstable (and probably won't be until after xine-lib is appropriately patched).
