Description Guillaume 2002-08-12 12:32:45 UTC
Hi,

the ebuild for xmms-1.2.7-r11 and r12 generate an xmms executable which is
coredumping when you are trying to run it. Using the sources downloaded from
xmms.org (1.2.7) everything is running fine.

Best regards,
    Guillaume

what do you have in your USE stuff?
Comment 2 Mark Guertin 2002-08-12 13:55:33 UTC
Something is wrong with the entire build by the looks of it, I am unable to even
get a complete build of it, even with USE="-*"

Making all in po

Will investigate further.
Comment 3 Mark Guertin 2002-08-12 14:21:46 UTC
Also now running ./configure in the gentoo patched work dir for xmms errors for
me as well

sed: Couldn't re-allocate memory
config.status: executing default commands
configure: configuring in libxmms
configure: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=.  --cache-file=/dev/null
--srcdir=.
configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: .
configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for libxmms

Comment 4 Mark Guertin 2002-08-12 14:47:51 UTC
Ok, my errors were unrelated to this (supersed gave me problems), back to plan A ;)

What do you have in your USE?  I just built both versions and both versioons
work ok on 2 x ppc boxes
Comment 5 Guillaume 2002-08-12 15:09:03 UTC
here is my use variable in make.conf:

USE="-kde -gnome -berkdb ncurses png avi mpeg quicktime oss -esd ggi dvd xmms
ldap truetype xml pdflib java afs samba"

Comment 6 Mark Guertin 2002-08-12 15:22:36 UTC
Aha... the problem is likely do to avi in your use setting .  avi is used to
install the Win32 (read x86 binary) avi libraries.

Can you try without avi and let me know if it works?
Comment 7 Guillaume 2002-08-12 16:18:49 UTC
Ok, that was it avi in the USE variabl + xmms is not correct for the ppc plateform.

Thanx,
    Guillaume
