Hi, -
recently I tried to run GNUstep on Solaris 2.6.
Gladly, most of the required packages (gcc33, etc) can be obtained from
www.sunfreeware.com. Only ffcall, gmp and Window Maker had to be
compiled locally.
The build process of GNUstep ran very smoothly.
However, I'm unable to run any application. Issuing openapp Ink.app at
the console results in a lot of X-Windows error messages followed by a
core dump.
Maybe someone can give me some advice. An excerpt of the error script
is
posted below. I was using the xlib backend. (Is -art supposed to work
on
Solaris?)
It's probably unlikely that it is the graphics backend. More likely is
the X server (x11) section of the backend. Someone else was having
similar problems on Solaris 2.6. I remember that it was crashing in a
place that it shouldn't be possible for it to crash
(XGServerWindow.m:setWindowHintsForStyle), unless the
XGetWindowProperty call returned a bogus success value when it really
didn't succeed.
It would be helpful if you could debug it or just get some backtraces.
Compile the libraries with debug=yes, if possible and
debugapp MyApp.debug
run
bakctrace
To get info about the seg fault.
Also debug with
debugapp MyApp.debug --GNU-Debug=XSynchronize
and that will cause the app to crash after the first X-Windows error
and you can get a backtrace there also.
