error when making SWF

[Kevin W.]

I kept on having Salasaga crash on me when exporting to SWF. All i have is the screenshots and lots of text boxes.(and one highlight) When running gdb on it, it outputs.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7f7643da97a0 (LWP 23262)]
0x00007f763fed1022 in writeSWFFontCharacterToMethod ()
   from /usr/lib/libming.so.0

There's a possibility this bug is the same as #246780.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/salasaga/+bug/246780

However, if it's crashing on the first export after loading a project file, then it's likely a new bug.

Hi Kevin,

Which version of Salasaga are you using, which platform are you running it on, and are you ok to email the project file to me so I can try and duplicate the problem on my end? (<email address hidden>)

I won't be able to look at it for a few hours though, as I have an important meeting soon that I'm presently preparing for. ;->

Hope that's workable.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I am using ubuntu 8.04 64 bit. I am using the latest alpha on getdeb.net.
Yes, it is crashing on the first export.
I will modify the project before sending it to you so that the passwords
that were visible are not anymore. Otherwise, you can see the project. Do
you want me to email it to you the email you listed?

I wanted to add to the bug report an interesting thing. When I tried to
export the project on my other ubuntu 8.04 computer (x86), it worked fine.
It didn't crash and spit out a normal looking swf file. Maybe this is only a
64bit problem. Maybe the ming library is different in 64bit in some areas.
I'm still sending the project file to the email you listed in the last
email.

Hi Kevin,

There were a few fixes for the swf component done a while back, shortly after the release of alpha 3.

Can't test if they fix your problem though, as presently all my (non-sparc) systems are 32 bit. :(

Alpha 4 should be released very soon, and when it is, the getdeb.net guys will very likely make a 64 bit version. :)

Best I can do at the moment. :(

[Kevin W. (eyecreate)]

thanks for looking into it. I will wait then for alpha 4.

Hi Kevin,

My new laptop is 64 bit capable now, and has Ubuntu 64-bit (Hardy and Intrepid) running in virtual machines. Am debugging and fixing memory errors now, with there being a good chance that will fix the crashing problem you were getting. :)

[Kevin W. (eyecreate)]

thanks alot! glad to hear back from you. Keep up your good work, your
program is great to use, I am trying to use it instead of x86 only programs
like Wink. Making it work 64 bit will be a good step forward.

No worries. Is there any chance you're running Ubuntu Intrepid, the
development version of the next release?

Salasaga is going to be available through apt-get for that, so early
testers would be really welcome. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

[Kevin W. (eyecreate)]

no, I don't happen to be running Intrepid, I don't try to run too much
"pre-release" stuff on my laptop that I use to actually get stuff done. I
wouldn't mind installing and running it for test in a virtual machine of
Intrepid thoough. I like the fact it will be in apt-get though.

This bug is fixed in Subversion and will be included with the Alpha 5 release this weekend.
