Dear Humans, I'm running into a spot of trouble that concerns the Git binaries for Windows, and I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me out.
These past 2 weeks I've been attempting to compile the Gstreamer SDK on the windows platform following the following guide: http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Building+from+source+using+Cerbero Having followed all of the instructions I've gotten to the part of where I build the SDK with the 'bootstrap' command. Unfortunately, this eventually leads to 'patch.exe', that comes with Git, to crash. Basically giving me this output: Unpacking C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Lasse/cerbero/sources/local/gettext-0.18.3.1/gettext-0.18.3.1.tar.gz in C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Lasse/cerbero/sources/build-tools Applying patch C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Lasse/cerbero/recipes/gettext/0001-Fix-linker-error-redefinition-of-vasprintf.patch Running command 'patch -p1 -f -i C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Lasse/cerbero/recipes/gettext/0001-Fix-linker-error-redefinition-of-vasprintf.patch' 0 [main] patch 6508 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 531 [main] patch 6508 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to patch.exe.stackdump ***** Error running 'bootstrap' command: Recipe 'gettext' failed at the build step 'extract' The stackdump itself looks as follows (although I'd be surprised if anyone can get something intelligible out of it): MSYS-1.0.12 Build:2011-07-20 17:52 Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=68008DAA eax=0301B001 ebx=60EA027C ecx=00434664 edx=0000029C esi=00000000 edi=60EA00D4 ebp=0028FE84 esp=0028FE60 program=c:\Git\bin\patch.exe cs=0023 ds=002B es=002B fs=0053 gs=002B ss=002B Stack trace: Frame Function Args 0028FE84 68008DAA (60EA00D4, 0000029C, 00000003, 680044EA) 0028FED4 6800466B (00000000, 00000000, 0028FF14, 0040D6BD) 0028FEF4 68004C5F (00000000, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) 0028FF14 68004C98 (00000000, 6809A320, 00000000, 00000000) 0028FF54 0040D560 (00403EB4, FFFFF880, 00000000, 00000000) 0028FF84 0040103D (7FFDE000, 0028FFD4, 77C8BF39, 7FFDE000) 0028FF90 7593850D (7FFDE000, 659B7CFA, 00000000, 00000000) 0028FFD4 77C8BF39 (00401000, 7FFDE000, FFFFFFFF, 77D01DF7) 0028FFEC 77C8BF0C (00401000, 7FFDE000, 00000000, 78746341) End of stack trace This issue happens with both Git For Windows version 1.8.0 and 1.8.4. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? I've already used the dependancy walker to see if Git (and the patch.exe) was grabbing some DLLs from some uncommon places, but all of the DLLs it uses are either in the same folder as Git, or in the System32 folder... :/ Any help is much appreciated, Lasse -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
