Description jsado_sc3 2004-11-20 11:56:49 UTC

I have just emerged the latest xaos (3.1). When I start it I just get a segmentation fault and it quits.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Could you please try with a simple "-O2" and no other CFLAGS?

Comment 2 jsado_sc3 2004-11-25 10:22:18 UTC

Ok, that fixes the seg-fault problem, but now I am still having the same problem reported in bug #41702. This is on a completely different computer, with only one screen, and using the latest xorg X server and a different configuration.

I think this "hang on startup" problem will be hard to track down remotely... there is still no reaction to the bug report I made for bug #41702.

Would be really nice if you could play around with your CFLAGS to find out which one causes the segfault (so that we can filter it).

I guess this has to be fixed in the upstream code, sorry. I don't feel able to remote-debug this since I don't have an idea what could be the reason.
