Bug 24775 – games-strategy/liquidwar 5.5.9 segfaults with mouse movement, allegro errors.

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description FieldySnuts 2003-07-18 16:47:08 UTC]

app-games/liquidwar 5.5.9 segfaults when I move the mouse a little, but only on
the menu. Allegro then spits out errors. Like so:

Shutting down Allegro due to signal #11
Segmentation fault

This doesn't happen every time, but it does most times.

I am attaching the final 2000 bytes of an strace. The full strace is 3.8 MB, if
you really want it, let me know.

Now, for the emerge info that always gets torn up:

oops.

[Comment 4 FieldySnuts 2003-07-18 16:51:14 UTC]

I also just noticed that it usually is left killable only by -9.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2003-07-18 17:57:29 UTC]

try it again but emerge liquidwar with CFLAGS=-pipe and CXXFLAGS=-pipe ... 
 
if it still dies, try re-emerging allegro with same flags as above 

[Comment 6 FieldySnuts 2003-07-20 11:52:45 UTC]

Okay. I used only -pipe on liquidwar , same problem.

I then used only -pipe on allegro , same problem.

Anything else I can do to assist?

[Comment 7 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-08-06 23:33:23 UTC]

Still no luck on this?

I have:
Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1)
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe"

on

System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor

And it worked for me with no problems.  If you're still having problems I really
suspect the CFLAGS you're using - maybe on one of the other depending libraries.

[Comment 8 FieldySnuts 2003-08-09 19:52:14 UTC]

Yes, still problems.

Could be CFLAGS On a depensancy, which would be tedious to track down. Thanks for the help :)

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2003-08-09 20:00:21 UTC]

well think you could try running it through gdb and see if you can clean useful 
info from that ? 

[Comment 10 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-08-21 13:33:20 UTC]

Without more information we CANTFIX this.

Joe, or anyone else who experiences this...go ahead and re-open if more
information becomes available.

Thanks.

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2003-08-21 23:24:36 UTC]

could you try re-emerging allegro now ?

i fixed some compile options that were causing segfaults for other users of allegro ...

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2003-08-21 23:31:11 UTC]

err since rsync has been messed up make sure that the allegro you merge has a 
'sed' cmd in the src_unpack ... if it doesnt, you'll have to wait until rsync comes 
back up 

[Comment 13 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-08-28 19:06:25 UTC]

A week later...

Joe were you able to try out the latest version of allegro or shall I go ahead
and close this bug again?

[Comment 14 FieldySnuts 2003-08-29 07:13:04 UTC]

Reinstalled Allegro, reinstalled liquidwar, same problems.

Installing mouse (driver="X-Windows mouse") - success!
Installing sound (digi="Open Sound System", midi="No sound") - success!
Installing joystick (driver="No joystick") - success!
Setting up network - success!
Allocating 16 Mb - success!

Loading data from "/usr/share/games/liquidwar/liquidwar.dat" - success!
Loading fonts - success!

Loading custom musics from "/usr/share/games/liquidwar/music" + - success!

Changing video mode to 1024x768, windowed (driver="X11 window") - success!
Aborted

Then I need to SIGKILL it.

[Comment 15 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-09-26 21:51:21 UTC]

Joe - could you try running liquidwar with the development version of allegro?
That's 4.1.11.

[Comment 16 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 16:43:08 UTC]

Need user input to proceed.

[Comment 17 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-10-17 01:51:14 UTC]

reopening...

[Comment 18 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-10-17 01:51:40 UTC]

...so I can close with WORKSFORME.
