Hi folks, I'm really sorry -- I may have caused gEDA 1.7.2 to ship in a completely unusably broken state. Two of my patches, that I thought were unrelated, clashed in a way that breaks adding attributes!
I've now fixed it in git master. See patch description: > gschem: Unbreak most of the dialog boxes. > > In commit 78c8ee905dad, OBJECT smobs were altered to store a TOPLEVEL > pointer for use when freeing them during garbage collection. The > TOPLEVEL pointer is obtained using edascm_current_toplevel(). > Unfortunately, since edascm_current_toplevel() raises a Scheme error > when the TOPLEVEL fluid is not set, this means that > edascm_from_object() can crash gEDA applications if it is not called > from inside a Scheme catch context *and* the TOPLEVEL fluid isn't set > in the current dynamic context. > > This exposed a bug in commit 71cc3eb5583b, where OBJECT smobs were > created *before* setting the TOPLEVEL fluid. As a result, gschem > crashed pretty reliably when hooks were triggered via dialog boxes > rather than via keystrokes or menu item (e.g. when adding attributes > with the "Add Attribute" dialog box). This patch fixes the issue. I'm sorry for screwing this up. :-( There turned out to be a couple of other bugs that break gschem a bit too... I think it's feasible to put out a fast 1.7.3 release; the delta from 1.7.2 doesn't touch the libgeda .so at all. Is that at all possible in the next few days? I also double-checked with several other users that `make distcheck` *doesn't* choke on the Info file. I'm fairly confident that there may be a problem with Ales' setup that's causing his build failures -- I'm currently waiting for him to get back to me about what the problem was that he saw, so that we can debug it and work out what's going wrong.
