I'm trying to build GNUstep on openSUSE 10.2 and have hit a problem. I wonder if anyone can throw light on it - or, alternatively, whether anyone has successfully built GNUstep on openSUSE 10.2 and, if so, how?
The problem is that the plmerge program fails with a buffer overflow and dumps out a Backtrace and Memory map - sample at: <URL:http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/testcase/plmerge-results.txt> The fault lies in plmerge, as built, and not with the data it is being given. It is reproducible with a trivial test case. In SuSE 9.3, plmerge - built from the same gnustep-base source - works OK. The main differences between 9.3 and 10.2, that seem to be potentially relevant, are: - 10.2 has gcc version 4.1.2_20061115 (I think this is a pre-release; Novell seem keen on living at the 'bleeding edge'), whereas 9.3 used 3.3.5; and - 10.2 has libffi (however the problem occurs irrespective of whether I use libffi or ffcall). The problem is not the result of building under rpmbuild; it occurs even if I build by the orthodox configure/make process. Any help on this would be very welcome! -- Richard Stonehouse _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
