If you create /usr/lib/tilp yourself, the program will function, but will give you an error that the default registry was not found. However, this is not a user fault. The ebuilt itself is faulty, it does not even install the registry, or attempt to. PLEASE, stop bumping ebuilds mindlessly.
Created attachment 24922 [details] Fixed up ebuild.
This ebuild is also not really working, I'm sorry. The registry copy causes a sandbox violation.
Ugh, yeah I will fix that later today. Damn sandboxes :)
Created attachment 26500 [details] updated version, fixes sandbox issues hopefully should fix sandbox issues, please test.
khai, your last ebuild: 1-builds fine 2-shouldn't create /usr/lib/tilp outside of the pkg_install() process, because this directory isn't registered by portage, and won't be deleted at unmerging. 3-makes tilp segfault at startup in a localised environment (i use LC_ALL=fr_FR@euro) 4-if it is started with LC_ALL=C, tilp displays an error message saying that the tilp registry is missing, 5-there is a /etc/tilp/tilp.reg, if i set a symlink from /etc/tilp to /usr/lib/tilp, i get "g_module_open failed: /usr/lib/tilp/tilp.registry: invalid ELF header"
Yeah, I can confirm what dju said. Do you think you get this working soon since I depend on tilp for school?
khai, the "mindless bumping" resulted for me in a package that has the /usr/lib/tilp/ directory with some libs in it and that starts up just fine, without any segfault so far. Since I don't have such a calculator, I can't test if it works correctly. I asked the user who submitted that stuff in bug #28325 to test it. There were no error reports until now. So could you please at least provide a useful error report including, for example, the versions of libticalcs/files/cables you use and perhaps attach the output of emerge tilp before you start shouting at other people? Thank you very much for your patience.
#6, Yes, you're right about point 1, although I have no idea how to fix the locale problems (never used any language besides english) #9, If you could, please take this bug as I don't have much time for it, it's been unresolved for a while and this is not my ballpark anyhow. Also, many times programs run fine, until you try to actually use it. I am sure someone where will be happy to provide you with all the bug reporting information you will need.
So, is there anybody left - who is able to reproduce a bug with the tilp ebuild? - who is willing to answer questions about how to reproduce this bug?
The only problem I am having is a missing registry error when the program first starts. Other than that it seems to work fine. Hope this helps!
Created attachment 27950 [details] app-sci/tilp/tilp-6.68.ebuild please test this ebuild. it has corrected dependencies and fix the registry bug. however, tilp still segfaults at startup with other locales than C.
Created attachment 27951 [details, diff] app-sci/tilp/files/6.68-gentoo-keepdir.diff
New ebuild and patch seem to work fine. I installed it and the registry error is no longer there. I connected my calc and it connects fine and uploads fine. Overall seems to be working well.
I have to apologize - I don't know what I did wrong while testing, but now I can reproduce your problems.
-r1 should be out soon. Only little changes to the ebuild you suggested. Thanks!
can you confirm the tilp crash with others locale than C ?
Not exactly the way you experience it. It starts up just fine for me using fr_FR@euro and de_DE@euro but it segfaults with pl_PL. Perhaps I can debug it this way, I'll give it a try.
Every time I recompile it it seems to need a different locale for crashing... I am not very confident I'll be able to track this down, but maybe I'll try tomorrow.
Ok, it got a bit later than tomorrow :-) Looks like the tilp programmers wrote over the end of some buffer. Patch will be sent upstream and providedd in -r2.
yeah, -r2 seems to do the trick, thanks! i'll submit this patch to the author himself.
I already put it on the sourceforge project page, but if you know a more direct way...
