LiVES

Hello,

with the version 0.9.8.10 everything runs fine,
but I am using archlinux 64bit now and no longer sourcemage.

Thank you for this great program. It is easy to understand/use and quite
fast and
fun to work with. I really love it.

Please re-test this with the current CVS version.

The method of passing function pointers has been changed.

Marking "invalid" as it appears to be specific to Sourcemage 64 bit
packages.

Nope. Without these flags, I cannot build on my own (or other) AMD64 bit
system (I get the error: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol'
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC).

Sourcemage must be doing something strange with their 64 bit builds...I
can only suggest that you log this issue with them.

Cheers,
Gabriel.

I am using gcc (GCC) 4.1.2.

Maybe this flags are only optimizations and are not really needed ?
Let me know if you need additional informations.

Thanks for the report.

The flags -DPIC -fPIC are normally needed for compilation on 64 bit
systems.

It`s strange that it works on your system without these flags and not with
them.

What version of gcc are you using ?

Here it is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00002b8ed6bf8269 in weed_plugin_info_init () from

I compiled it manualy (without using the Sourcemage distibutions scripts)
and it seems to run, only the automaticaly builded version segfault.
After removing -fPIC and -DPIC flags in the sourcemages lives build script
it now is starting without any problems.
I don't know where this -fPIC and -DPIC flags comes from or what it is
supposed to do, just noticed that some other scripts are disabling there
flags for a working build for other programs too.

Hi, please can you try running lives under gdb:

e.g.:

gdb lives

(gdb) run


<hit enter a few times>

(gdb) bt
