Comment 2 Boyan Ivanov 2008-04-18 05:32:35 UTC
Well, in the description of "severity" it's said if the program crashes, it's critical.
It's okay with me though the status to be changed to normal.
Comment 3 Tupone Alfredo gentoo-dev 2008-04-29 05:58:54 UTC
It start here, same USE flags. 
Maybe you can build it with 
FEATURES="nostrip"
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -g"
and then start it with gdb to see where it break:
gdb civclient
...
(gdb) run
....
(gdb) bt

and analyze the output of the command.
That way you can further go and find who is the faulty item
Comment 4 Tupone Alfredo gentoo-dev 2008-04-29 07:50:05 UTC
You can also try to emerge it using:
CFLAGS="-O1 -march=pentium-m -pipe -g"
as the freeciv site says:

WARNING: gcc 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 miscompile Freeciv, if level -O2 (or above) optimization is used!

Maybe it apply to 4.2.3 too.
Comment 5 Boyan Ivanov 2008-04-29 10:42:35 UTC
Well, my gcc version is 4.1.2 but tried with -01 and still the problem's there.
I also added "nostrip" but got useless stacktrace, pointing to libgdk file.
Then I reemerged gtk with debug flag and here's a bit more useful stacktrace from civclient :

Comment 6 Tupone Alfredo gentoo-dev 2008-04-29 20:23:30 UTC
Can you test it with the new version of freeciv (2.1.4) just added in portage?
Comment 7 Boyan Ivanov 2008-05-02 09:37:02 UTC
It works now, but it wasn't the new version that fixed it.
After posting the stacktrace I googled about parts of it and I found out that the problem was due to the gtk-qt engine. After I enabled it from the control center of KDE, everything works fine.
I tested it with 2.1.3 and 2.1.4.
2.0.9 has no problems with gtk-qt.
