Settings->Environment.... crash! the latest nightly !!!!!!!!!!

[mandrav]

Yannis could you please have a look at the debian directory and check if it is not there the cause of the problem (I would do it by myself, but I am not an expert)

Well I 'm far from being an expert myself
Anyway, surely the resources are not updated. I have mentioned it before. And I have also mentioned the temporary "fix": just before creating your package, run make clean-zipfiles...

... I just replace the env_settings.xrc in the zip file and it works well.
...
I hope that you can fix the error now so that everyone has fun in programming with C::B...

So.. you beat both me and my dog to the solution. Good for you.
My poor linux 333mhz laptop is still compiling svn2368 so I could do the comparison.

Good job Dee.

thanks,

Thank you very much for the help. I will try the fix tomorrow in order to build a package without crashes .

Anyway, I just wonder if there is an official method for building .deb packages. More I search and more "solutions" I find. I think that soon or late I will found the right one .

If someone would be so kind to install it and check if the Settings-->Environment crash is disappeared,

Sorry, but it still crashes....

Anyway, I just wonder if there is an official method for building .deb packages.

I don't think so! I know that my way with checkinstall is not the best, because the dependencies will not be checked. But using dh_make and fakeroot should do this. But please don't ask how to use this exactly...

you beat both me and my dog to the solution.

No, I would never beat a dog or any other animal...

Ok, I see .

I use fakeroot . Anyway, I have read that Ubuntu developers build packages with CHROOT and pbuilder (to be sure that each package will work everywhere or quite). I have tried, but get an error, because it could not find the zip file. Should I install it.

I think that each distro has its "official" method(s). I just would like to find the right way in ubuntu .

Now I am building the .deb package for the nightly build of today after having done sudo make clean-zipfiles. It should work then .

Thanks.

Hello,

I have build a .deb package for revision 2387 (and this time I have run sudo make clean-zipfiles before . This time the crash should be solved (if I have run the make clean-zipfiles correctly . Unfortunately, BerliOS seems to be still down.

Therefore, if someone would be so kind to install it and check if the Settings-->Environment crash is really disappeared, I would really appreciate . If you have installed a previous package, please uninstall it before.

The package (rev2387) is available here:

http://www.savefile.com/projects.php?pid=547711

Thank you very much .

Best wishes,
Michael

Yeah, it works...

But there are other problems with this release (and the previous ones). Should I start another thread?

Cool . Yannis has always the right solution/suggestion/advice  .

But there are other problems with this release (and the previous ones). Should I start another thread?

If the problems are not related with the crash, then yes. IMHO it is a better idea to post them in a separate thread than just add them here.

Thanks for your help .

Best wishes,

Hi,
I had the same problem as the topic title, and after a lot of PAIN, I found this thread and solved the problem using Yannis's suggestion:

Code

make clean-bin
make clean-zipfiles

The problem is that the wiki page about compiling C::B does not say anything about it!
Times ago I had another problem with the wiki: I couldn't even build C::B, because I was missing a

Code

make distclean

Thus I would STRONGLY suggest to update the wiki, explaining how to clean everything before compiling, with

Code

make distclean
make clean-bin
make clean-zipfiles
./configure
make
make install

Thank you!

Edit: I figured out just now that I can edit the wiki with my forum account  :oops: and I did it... please check  that I didn't say anything wrong, though!
