Installation problems Dell M65

(1/4) > >>

strickland:
I have been successfully installing and running code::blocks nightly builds on a number of platforms for several months (winxp, win2000 with various hardware). I attempted to install a nightly build on a Dell M65 laptop (Intel dual core T5600 processor (1.83GHz), 2G DDR, SATA hdd). After installing mingw, msys and gdb and uncrunching the nightly build zips, attempting to run the program displays the hourglass momentarily and quits quietly - no error messages.

I have tried deleting the codeblocks directory from the user profile under Application data and have also tried to delete the cb-crash-recovery directory under the users "My Documents" directory - both with no improvement. Both these directories are empty (no default.conf or any other file). I have attempted to run codeblocks with a number of different switches with no joy (/d does not produce any additional debugging information).

I have tried running some of the sysinternal monitoring programs to determine what is going on. Can anyone suggest a method I can use to determine what is causing the problem?

Thanks

Ceniza:
Have you checked if it created a file called codeblocks.rpt in the same directory you put codeblocks.exe? It lacks debugging information but could be of some help.

strickland:
I checked and there is no codeblocks.rpt file in the executable directory. I was hoping there was some way of using the /d switch to produce some information. Would I be able to access more debugging information if I recompiled from source with some switches?

Thanks

Ceniza:
A second test would be running codeblocks through GDB and see if that way you get anything useful.

Of course you could try to compile Code::Blocks with debugging information, the problem is the Windows build was conceived to use an existing binary of Code::Blocks.

Just another test: go to the share/CodeBlocks/pulgins/ directory and move all the files you find in there to a temporary location and try to run codeblocks.exe again. If it works, close it, restore one plugin and repeat till you find a suspect.

strickland:
I deleted all the plugins and the program still fails quietly.

Running codeblocks with gdb produces a segmentation fault accessing address 0x00.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000 in ?? () from

Thanks for all the help and suggestions! I have tried different nightly builds with the same result. I also have eclipse CDT running so the mingw/msys/ installation must be ok. Do you have any additional suggestions to help nail down the problem?
