Player problem in openSuse 13.2 (fonts problem?)

[Rui Loureiro]

Hi.

I made a fresh installation with the same behavior I have reported here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/ingex/discussion/531547/thread/1a1bca83/#20e9

what fonts needed to be installed to build and run the player?

Ok, after do some debugging i think is a memory alocation problem in YUVLib/YUV_text_overlay.c. The functions in this file are returning a "YUV_no_memory" error.

That error seems to happen when a malloc fails. Do you have any more debug information? Some of the mallocs are like: malloc(ovly->w * ovly->h * 2)
And that would probably fail if ovly pointer was invalid. Can you check for that?

I think this solves the problem:
For example, in the char_set_to_overlay function inside the for cicle to get bounding box for characters, i use a variable instead of the operation to do the comparation, like this:

        if (bb_t > -slot->bitmap_top)
            bb_t = -slot->bitmap_top;

        int sum1 = slot->bitmap.rows - slot->bitmap_top;
        if (bb_b < sum1)
            bb_b = slot->bitmap.rows - slot->bitmap_top;

        if (bb_l > slot->bitmap_left)
            bb_l = slot->bitmap_left;

        sum1 = slot->bitmap_left + slot->bitmap.width;
        if (bb_r < sum1)
            bb_r = slot->bitmap_left + slot->bitmap.width;

I do the same in the init_timecode and the command "player --balls 10" runs fine in the virtual machine. Probaly is necessary chage other functions, like char_to_overlay. Next week I try with a real machine.

Strange beavior, from gnu libc 2.19, i think.

Tested with openSuse 13.2 and dvs hardware and works fine.

I think char_to_overlay is not used in the ingex project.
