Bug 26154 – Blender 2.28 segfault - new ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Love 2003-08-07 13:44:38 UTC]

Attempting to run blender-2.28 after emerging, results in a Segmentation Fault.
 No error messages, no output.  When attempting to do an strace, my machine
locks up around the dri access section.  For note, I'm using an IBM Thinkpad
A22p - which has a Rage 128 w/ 16 MB of video ram.

So, I decided to take the long way around and created an ebuild (and patch) to
build blender using the NaN makefiles instead of autoconf.  Most of the
information necessary was gleaned from the blender forums.  

Now, everything appears to work just fine - emerges ok and runs correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge blender
2. /usr/bin/blender
3. Segmentation Fault

Actual Results:  
Crashes hard with little info.

Expected Results:  
Running correctly :)

Blender ebuild (using NaN makefiles)

[Comment 2 David Love 2003-08-07 13:46:42 UTC]

Created attachment 15710 [details, diff]
Patch to change some values in the makefiles

Only build the dynamically linked blender, and link against the smpeg library.

[Comment 3 Luca Barbato 2003-08-11 16:08:04 UTC]

that is strange here blender is working, could you please post your emerge info?

[Comment 4 David Love 2003-08-12 08:29:47 UTC]

Verbose output from emerge info:

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 2003-08-12 15:56:38 UTC]

clean your ccache and try again building please

[Comment 6 David Love 2003-08-12 16:19:29 UTC]

I don't actually have ccache installed.  The only reason it's in the features list is that I don't feel like futzing with the make.globals file.

[Comment 7 Stephane Loeuillet 2003-09-29 16:13:16 UTC]

do not touch make.global but make.conf instead

is your problem still present with 2.28a ? (renaming the original ebuild
as there is no ebuild for 2.28a for now and 2.28c source is not yet available)

[Comment 8 Stephane Loeuillet 2003-09-29 18:16:31 UTC]

no need to rename existing ebuild to have 2.28a, it went into portage an
hour ago.
try it and report if it is better or if you still have the problem.

if you have no more the problem, please close this bug report

[Comment 9 David Love 2003-10-01 01:12:31 UTC]

The comment about changing make.globals had to do with removing ccache from
the 
FEATURES list (as far as I understand, you can't remove features in make.conf).

The 2.28a ebuild shows the same problem:  

A grey window (fullscreen) pops up, closes, and Segmentation Fault is all
the 
output that is printed.

[Comment 10 Luca Barbato 2003-10-01 06:55:00 UTC]

if you don't have ccache installed you won't have any issue from it.
could you give me some info about your video drivers and xfree release?

[Comment 11 David Love 2003-10-01 12:41:31 UTC]

XFree release: xfree-4.3.0-r3

r128 DRI driver (from xfree-drm-4.3.0-r6)

[Comment 12 Luca Barbato 2003-10-31 19:57:04 UTC]

2.28c works?

[Comment 13 David Love 2003-11-03 13:50:30 UTC]

No, 2.28c does not work (sorry about the lengthy delay in response).  However,

instead of simply crashing immediately, the gray, fullscreen background of
what would normally be the main blender window appears briefly.  

[Comment 14 David Love 2003-11-10 23:59:36 UTC]

blender-2.30 works!  No problems.
