Hi Martin,
I understand the situation and I fully appreciate your work (and the
work of others) to bring KDE to FreeBSD. Don't get me wrong with the
following I'd like to say.
I think only supporting KDE4 is not a good idea. IMHO, KDE4 is a bit
heading in the wrong direction. KDE4 is unusable for a lot of (older)
hardware and is unusable, at least, for smaller laptops or netbooks,
just because of the resources it is consuming. If the KDE team is
leaving KDE3, and I don't expect further development, but only
compability with upcoming FreeBSD ABI changes (or whatever), than we
will not have KDE3 anymore from 9-CURRENT (or even from 8.0-RELEASE)
anymore. Which would be a real pity :-(
I'm willing to nail this small issue down. I've already compiled the
arts-1.5.10_2,1 port with --enable-debug=full and will test it the
upcoming weekend. Do you have any hints for me on debugging?
I have had already a look into the code where it crashes in
soundserver/kmedia2.cc:
...
unsigned long Arts::PlayObject_private_base::_IID = Arts::MCOPUtils::makeIID("Arts::PlayObject_private");
Arts::PlayObject_base *Arts::PlayObject_base::_create(const std::string& subClass)
{
Arts::Object_skel *skel = Arts::ObjectManager::the()->create(subClass);
assert(skel);
Arts::PlayObject_base *castedObject = (Arts::PlayObject_base *)skel->_cast(Arts::PlayObject_base::_IID);
assert(castedObject);
return castedObject;
}
...
but can't see anything what could cause this SIGSEGV;
as well I have fetched the 8.0-RC1 precompiled package arts-1.5.10_2,1.tbz
and will give it a try in 9-CURRENT.
Will let you know what I can find out.
Thanks
matthias
