Hi!
I'm trying to package mdk for Fedora and I'm almost there. :)
Excellent!
The problem is that after running gmixvm it consumes much of disk and
CPU resources. I managed to find out that it's scanning the whole
directory tree (either /usr/bin or home directory, depending how it is
started).
What are the two ways of starting gmixvm? Do you have the same problem
starting (in a terminal) mixvm?
Yes, it is the same no matter if I start it from CLI or from a menu entry.
Attached is gdb stack trace. Do you know what could be the exact
problem?
Hmmm... it's a bit difficult to tell, but i have a guess. It could be
one of the gnome daemons looking for a path, or something like that. To
check, could you edit ~/.mdk/gmixvm.config (creating it if necessary)
and ensure that it contains the lines:
Assembler=/usr/bin/mixasm -l %s
Mixasm=/usr/bin/mixasm -l %s
Editor=/usr/bin/xterm -e vi %s
where, in all of them, the paths are to exisiting executables?
I added those lines to gmixvm.config (and created it) but it is still
scanning the /usr/bin directory. And just now I found out that it also
stat's/lstat's many other files of which some do not exist. Here are
some excerpts from the strace output:
