I have managed to include a patch that fixes this problem, but when doing so I found more related problems - if running with a folder which doesn't contain any data files it still segfaults (but later).

BTW I noticed in your email to debian-devel-games that you mentioned the newer-standards-version lintian warning; this is fixed in the latest version of lintian, currently available in unstable only. I recommend that for Debian development work you always use the unstable version of lintian; I use the following apt pinning (in /etc/apt/preferences): Package: lintian Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 500 Package: debian-policy Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 500 Let me know when you reckon you've finished preparing the package, whether or not you fix the second segfault you mention (I can't reproduce it, but I may not be testing the right thing).

[Help] Usable command options parser for C
Hi, I know that the best command options parser is the GNU getopt(3) routines. I know that the GNU has a wrapper to generate C code around the GNU getopt(3) routines -- the http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/. However, that wrapper, gengetopt, is dated and lacks of maintenance now. It is causing segmentation faults on newer systems -- https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40370 So I'm wondering what my other options are. If I need to build a tool in C that needs command options parsing, which tool/lib will make my life a bit easier? I don't need fancy functionalities. Nice and simple would be good enough for me and more preferable. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
