Is this bug easily reproducible? may you try using verbose output (-l 3)?

[Kevin Bowling (kevin-bowling)]

I've been following the git repo since the 0.4 announcement and it has never worked. Reproduces with all videos I've tried.

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

may you run lightspark under gdb and get a backtrace? I'm not able to reproduce the crash locally, please compile in debug mode (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug) to have more informations from the backtrace.

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

Have you run make install before running lightspark?

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

Also check that the ttf-liberation font is installed. I've updated the README with the dependency

[Kevin Bowling (kevin-bowling)]

Installed liberation fonts and did a make install to ./ls/

kev009@kev-ws-aurora ~/lightspark/objs/ls/ls/bin $ ./lightspark -p ../../../yt/ytargs ../../../yt/watch_as3-vfl169211.swf

Still bombs out. I ran with GDB but am not sure what to look at or break at since there is no segfault.

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

Hi Kevin,

may you try current git?

[Kevin Bowling (kevin-bowling)]

Same problem. How does it search for share/lightspark/*? I am unable to render any flash I throw at it, including simple banners.

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

please post the log. Also check that ttf-liberation is installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf and if not symlink the right file there

[Kevin Bowling (kevin-bowling)]

Alright, that fixed things. Gentoo stores it in /usr/share/fonts/liberation-fonts/. Is it possible to use a library to abstract the selection and location of fonts?

[Alessandro Pignotti (a-pignotti)]

Support for fontconfig is available in a contributor branch and will be merged soon

[Alexandre Demers (oxalin)]

Great! I was about to implement fontconfig to LightSpark since I thought it was ok for my skills (I must admit that it's been a while since I last coded in C++ and it was under Windows at the time, so it would have taken a bit of work). That's really a great news.
