Bug 28322 – Hitting the start button after starting Basilisk fails with some Gnome "floating point exception"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Larry Kopenkoskey 2003-09-09 21:23:16 UTC]

BasiliskII compiles fine.  I start the program with the 'BasiliskII' executable
in /usr/bin.  After setting up my processor, memory, rom, and disk options I hit
the start button.  The application quickly crashes with an error message listed
in Actual Results (below).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. As in details
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The application quickly crashes with some Gnome error as follows:
------------
Application "BasiliskII" (process 3218) has crashed due to a fatal error.
(Floating point exception)

Please visit the GNOME Application Crash page for more information
------------


Expected Results:  
A Mac OS window should have poped up.

I was using a QUAD650.ROM image, and following the steps to setup an os found
at: http://www.kearney.net/~mhoffman/basiliskII/system753_tutorial/linux/index.html

As hinted at in the gentoo forum post describing the problem above; I add the
following line in the .configure section of the version 1.0.0 ebuild and unmerge
and emerge BasiliskII again.  
Added line:		--enable-jit-compiler \
After that things work fine...  I don't see the "floating point exception" again.

I am compiling with -mcpu=ahlon -pipe -O3 (the -O3 is overwritten with -O2 in
the ebuild).

Here's my 'emerge info' info:

This bug sound very similar to closed bug #20188.
