Tulip / Bugs / #887 Tulip-5.7.2.AppImage crashes when selecting a layout algorithm within the GUI

I'm really sorry but I was unable to reproduce the crash you reported.
As I have no machine with your OS, I tried booting a virtual machine using Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso,
then lauching Tulip-5.7.2.AppImage on your cairo.graphml file.
Every layout plugin I applied worked as expected.

Checked again, still crashes.

I wonder if it would be possible to share how you built the Tulip-5.7.2.AppImage
Looks like it depends on the AppImage version being used, it might be possible
to make the AppImage extractable.
https://superuser.com/questions/1301583/how-can-i-extract-files-from-an-appimage
If extraction would be possible it should be easier for debugging

How exactly did you use this .iso file?
I installed virt-manager and started the systemd service.
Then i added the .iso to a new VM with 16Gb of RAM and 4 Cores, on my 32Gb i7-3770 host
Used the first option in the Grub menu (Live Image) with the .iso file.
Opened Firefox, downloaded from sourceforge the AppImage, chmodded it
and executed it and crash.

This all was very slow.

Regards Andre

I did the same in using VirtualBox instead of virt-manager.
You can extract then run the appimage in doing this :

cd /tmp
path_to_appimage/Tulip-5.7.2.AppImage
./squashfs-root/AppRun

  shouldn't it be possible to extract the contents of the AppImage
  without running it? The documentation from AppImage suggests that this should be possible.
  see
  https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit
  and search for
  
  --appimage-extract --appimage-mount --appimage-version

    Could this be a CPU problem with my old Intel Core i7-3770 processor?
    
    The combinations
    
    Ryzen 5 5625U + Ubuntu 22.04
    
    Ryzen 7 5700U + Fedora 37
    with the AppImage don't crash

      Hi Andre,
      
      The issue likely comes to the fact that the OGDF library bundled in Tulip source folder is compiled with the following GCC flags: -march=native which produces binaries non portable across CPU architectures.
      
      Commenting lines 16 to 19 in file tulip-5.7.2/thirdparty/OGDF/cmake/compiler-specifics.cmake and rebuilding the AppImage should fix the issue.
      
      Cheers !
      
      👍

        Indeed see Ticket #888, which we have already resolved, rebuilding from the source tar.gz doesn't show the crashes.
        
        This makes sense, locally -march=native is always ok.
        But for something portable like an AppImage, -march=native somehow works against the idea of portability.
        
        Question: Would it be possible to drop that -march=native somehow for the AppImage?
        
        Regards Andre

        At least this behavior should be somehow documented.

Thanks to Antoine (the developer who integrated OGDF source in Tulip) for giving its 2 cents.
And thanks to you Andre for your recent reports.
So the AppImage build will be fixed for the next Tulip release.
