Title: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: bnilsson on October 22, 2006, 07:51:09 pm
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This can also happen when one of the zip files in ../share/codeblocks is corruped or out of date.

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:

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?

Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger

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.

Can you open Settings/Compiler and debugger without a crash?
Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: mandrav on October 23, 2006, 08:39:44 pm
bnilsson, try disabling the profiler plugin and check again if you can open the compiler settings.
Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: bnilsson on October 23, 2006, 10:16:27 pm
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.

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

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?


Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: afb on October 25, 2006, 12:36:23 am
Adding a resource fork (with: `wx-config --rezflags` /path/to/bin/codeblocks) is enough to make wxMac receive events and not launch in the background, and useful when debugging.
Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: bnilsson on October 25, 2006, 01:11:34 am
Please clarify.
Is this something you do in configure or just on the fly?

Just go to the terminal and run `wx-config --rezflags` /path/to/bin/codeblocks
This one of the ways to be able to receive events in wxWidgets apps.

You should also be able to start your bundle up like so:
Code
(gdb) run --prefix=/Users/bnilsson

So, finally, I got a backtrace for the Settings/Compiler and debugger crash. (I didn't pay attention to the singlequotes in `wx-config --rezflags` before)

Could you compile CB with the debugging option -g on?
That backtrace has no symbol tables.

or try this:

Quote from: mandrav on October 25, 2006, 08:13:10 pm
Try the following in your working copy:

Code
make clean-zipfiles // <- this is the important part
make
make install // (or whatever it is that you do on Mac)

(don't type the comments!)
Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: bnilsson on October 25, 2006, 08:28:45 pm
mandrav just fixed it all (at least for me) by:

     make clean-zipfiles

It fixed both the "Settings/Compiler and debugger" and "Project/Build options" crashes.

Post by: bnilsson on October 25, 2006, 08:30:55 pm
BTW: show me the command line that enables a compile with the debugging option -g.
Is it a configure option?

Would I have to change to "g++ -g" in every Makefile?
It seems like a lot of work and to invite mistakes.
Is there a more semi-automatic way to setup the CB build to use this option?

I was asking how to build CB with the debug option on, not how to use it.
I have not yet been able to build CB using CB.
Title: Re: MacOSX: CB crashes at Settings/Compiler and debugger
Post by: afb on October 26, 2006, 10:26:16 am
Strange, I instead find that I need to strip my binaries of debugging symbols afterwards ?
(i.e. that it does build with the -g symbols enabled by default, and is huge because of it)

But they might be talking about the extra Code::Blocks debug code, enabled by configure:
Code
  --enable-debug          turn on debugging (default is OFF)
