#868 wxWidgets doesn't work with --enable-plugins

[Alexander Schuch]

I tried to compile Bochs using --with-wx and
--enable-plugins; it compiles fine, but when trying to
run it, I get the following:

00000000000i[ ] reading configuration from .bochsrc
Assertion failed: ((!pargz && !pargz_len && !before)
|| ((pargz <= before) && (before < (pargz +
*pargz_len)))), function rpl_argz_insert, file ltdl.c,
line 548.
Abort (core dumped)

However, when compiling Bochs using --with-wx only,
that is, without --enable-plugins, it works.

I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1 as host, Bochs CVS from
2005-02-11, and wxWidgets 2.4.2.

Does this bug still exist in the latest Bochs release?

Volker,

I'm running bochs 2.4.5 on FreeBSD 8.2 and I'm getting the same error as the original poster. I've used neither --with-wx nor --enable-plugins when building bochs. Perhaps it's something else that's triggering this?

Assertion failed: ((!pargz && !pargz_len && !before) || ((pargz <= before) && (before < (pargz + *pargz_len)))), function rpl_argz_insert, file ltdl.c, line 547.

Volker, I think this is already a good time to updated libltdl distribution that comes with Bochs code.

Bryce commented about it on early 2002, I think in last 10 years the libltdl code improved enough so it worth to update it :)

I guess above issues can be fixed this way.

I mean patch tracker item 629263 ltdl patches from guile project

[Volker Ruppert]

If libltdl is installed on the build system (or the host is win32), the legacy file ltdl.c is not used. Does this bug still exist?
