I suck at introductions tbh...

Hi @Cheez26,

jswed-2.2.9 compiles and runs without problems on Debian Bookworm. I don't know how similar our systems are. I noticed that @jetsetdanny has linked the development/unstable version. Maybe trying the stable version could help? Just an idea.

Well...I tried the "stable" version and, well, it didn't work. I will admit that my install is based on Trixie and has two init types: systemd and sysvinit. I use the systemd version but it's always good to have options in case systemd gets more wonky than it should.

That's apparently caused by the version of libpng in use. I think it should be possible to replace

png_ptr->jmpbuf

with 

png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)

and see if that helps. You may have to do it in several files.

Oof. So...libpng is a dependency as well? I'll doublecheck and see if it's installed on my system.

Yeah, libpng is installed, but I might need help with replacing the code thing in the files you mentioned. Perhaps a list of files I need to edit. Thanks in advance.

A quick file content search tells me it's in the following files...

fontform.cxx
jswtitle.cxx
screenedit.cxx
screenshot.cxx
spriteform.cxx

Thanks, but it seems that I stumbled upon another error.

Change the declaration on line 735 from 

static char no_patch[] =

to

static unsigned char no_patch[] =

Well, that worked. I suppose these edits will be in the next unstable version, right?

Regardless, thank you so very much for your help. Bless you. 🙏
