MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger

[bnilsson]

I am using rev 3126.

CodeBlocks crashes when I try to open menu Settings/Compiler and debugger.

I have deleted ~/.codeblocks to eliminate the possibility of corrupt settings, but the problem persists.

I am using rev 3126.

CodeBlocks crashes when I try to open menu Settings/Compiler and debugger.

I have deleted ~/.codeblocks to eliminate the possibility of corrupt settings, but the problem persists.

This can also happen when one of the zip files in ../share/codeblocks is corruped or out of date.

[bnilsson]

I removed the installation and did 'make install'.
Now CB says at startup: "The file CBProfiler.zip could not be found. Please check your installation."

It still crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger.

I kept CBProfiler.zip from previous installs, and the error message is not coming up if I put it in.
Funny that it is needed if it not generated.

Still crashing at Settings/Compiler and debugger.

I will now do a 'make clean' and try again.

I'm not sure if this is of help: But since you compile it on your own, C::B should create a report file with a backtrace of the crash. Not sure if this works of MacOS too, but it should...
The content of this file (usually codeblock.rpt in the folder where C::B is) will give an insight in the root of the crash.
With regards, Morten.

I am still building, so I have not found codeblocks.rpt yet, but this is a part of the crash log from OSX:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

Of what value this is, I could not judge.

After 'make clean' and rebuild including bootstrap and configure, the problem persists.
And no codeblocks.rpt cound be found at ~/bin or in the application bundle ~/Applications/CodeBlocks.app/Contents/MacOS.

It is intriguing that I need to copy share/codeblocks/profile.zip to share/codeblocks/CBProfile.zip to get rid of the startup error message.
Some fix for lib_finder.zip and profile.zip was completed today in rev 3126, could there be some leftovers from that work?
And could this have anything to do with the crash?

[Pecan]

Try running CB under GDB. Modify a run.sh to execute from the Terminal.
Something like:

Code

# ! / bin / sh <== take blanks out of this line

APP_DIR=/Users/pecan/devel/mac/trunk/src/devel
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APP_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APP_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR=`pwd`
export CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR
gdb  $APP_DIR/codeblocks  

When you get the crash, type "backtrace full"
and post the results.

Now CB says at startup: "The file CBProfiler.zip could not be found. Please check your installation."

It still crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger.

I second that on Ubuntu 6.06; wxGTK 2.6.3 (PL2); C::B rev. 3126

Settings/Compiler... Crash also?

Settings/Compiler... Crash also?

Yes, I get a message: "XRC resource 'dlgCBProfilerConfig' (class 'wxPanel') not found!"

[bnilsson]

Can you open Settings/Compiler and debugger without a crash?

[mandrav]

bnilsson, try disabling the profiler plugin and check again if you can open the compiler settings.

[bnilsson]

I disabled profiler, libfinder, and symbol table and tested by every step, the crash persists.
I disabled ALL plugins except compiler and debugger, and the crash persists.
BTW, now Project/Build options also crashes, system crash report:

I don't know if this came at the same time as the Settings/Compiler.. crash.

[_teo_]

Can you open Settings/Compiler and debugger without a crash?

No, I can't. However, please note, that I am new here. Maybe I've done something wrong.

[bnilsson]

Pecan,

About backtrace:

If I do
 cd ~/Applications/CodeBlocks.app/Contents/MacOS
 ./CodeBlocks --prefix=/Users/bnilsson
I can get CB to run recieving events and respond to mouseclicks.

I have a hard time executing your suggested script inside the bundle, since CB always say "Cannot find resources... --was configured to be installed in
/opt/local/share/codeblocks.. please use --prefix or set CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR..."

gdb does not take the second argument --prefix, and setting CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR apparently has no effect.

Any suggestions getting a backtrace from a MacOS bundle?
