exult crashes when I launch it with any ultima data file but the serpentisle version. The crash occurs after a few screens, and results in a segmentation fault. Here is the output in the terminal : Built at: Feb 12 2004 14:42:32 Compile-time options: HAVE_TIMIDITY_BIN, USE_EXULTSTUDIO, HAVE_ZIP_SUPPORT Compiler: gcc, version: 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r4, propolice) Platform: Linux version 2.6.1-benh1 Data path = /usr/share/games/exult Internal cheapass forked timidity synthesiser is_installed: './static/endgame.dat': no is_installed: '/home/rival/games/files/si//static/sispeech.spc' : yes Creating new player thread Starting a SERPENT ISLE game Current path settings: Static : /home/rival/games/files/si//static Gamedat : /home/rival//.exult/serpentisle/gamedat Savegame: /home/rival//.exult/serpentisle Patch : none Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed) I run : . a 2.6.1 kernel (patch benh1) . libsdl, last update 1.2.6-r3 . exult 1.00

try it with just -pipe please. exult seems to be very sensitive about which flags are used.
I have re-emerged it with the CFLAGS definition in make.conf replaced with CFLAGS="-pipe" but it still uses -O2 (CXXFLAGS is also "pipe"). There is something I do not understand here. Here are the comopilation which are apparently used : g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./headers -I./imagewin -I./shapes -I./server -I./data -I./objs -I./conf -I./files -I./gumps -I./audio -I./pathfinder -I./usecode -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -DXWIN -O2 -Wno-long-long -DEXULT_DATADIR=\"/usr/share/games/exult\" -pipe -c ... And exult still crashes.
please try out exult-1.1.10_rc2
The new version, compiled with the optimiziation option O2 disabled worked fine for me (at least the beginning of the game)
cool, re-open if it does start crashing on you then :)
