error: assignment to ‘char *’ from incompatible pointer type ‘char ** #164
Description
Describe the bug
Just cloned the repo and typed 'make'. I got the following error.
gcc -W -Wextra -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -DM_OS_LINUX -DMNO_MEM_DEBUG -O2 -g -pg -std=gnu99 -Iplugins/include -Iplugins/LINUXAMD64/molfile -c src/fparams.c -o obj/fparams.o
src/fparams.c: In function ‘get_fpocket_args’:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Clone the repo
- Hit 'make' in the console.
- Wait till the error appears
Expected behavior
It's expected for the make to complete successfully.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)
Additional context
I have included in line 284 the following declaration for residue_string, and it worked, at least for the compilation. I'm not sure which effect this can have for the results and expected behaviour of the code.
281 strcpy(par->custom_pocket_arg, optarg);
282 char *rest = par->custom_pocket_arg;
283 char *rest2;
284+ char residue_string[8000];
...
296- strcpy(&residue_string, pt);
296+ strcpy(residue_string, pt);
