cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
CC="gcc -g" make all
./sysinstall
[list the exacts steps you took, so I can reproduce it too, or find that
I can't :)]
(core dump)
gdb ./sysinstall sysinstall.core

Usual procedure here (backtrace, etc). The problem will most likely be
the member of a structure pointed by a NULL pointer being reference. Eg,
mediaDevice->shutdown(...), i->kids.

It would help further if you then break-pointed the function where the
problem happened, and stepped through it to pinpoint when the variable
turned to NULL (eg, mediaDevice->get(mediaDevice, ...)).

I was actually talking about FreeBSD 4.0, not XFree86 4.0. :)

Not to mention that 4.0 has "issues" with some
hardware/software/etc. I can't get xfce to run in it, for example.

Sounds good to me, as long as it runs :-).

BTW, ran into another nit from the 02/13 snapshot.  I installed the
X-kern-developer distribution, discovered X11 didn't work, so went back
into sysinstall to install X11 stuff.  I selected some combination of X11
components, and chose releng3.freebsd.org as the source -- sysinstall
coredumped.  A second attempt at the same resulted in sysinstall hanging.

This seems to be reproduceable -- what can I do to give you better
debugging information?

I think I'm just going to go to the 3.4 bits; I don't have a definitive
XFree86 distribution for 4.0 and I don't think I'm going to get one in
time to make a difference.

current.freebsd.org snapshots and broken X11

2000-03-14 Thread Robert Watson


It looks like the X11 associated with the snapshots on current.freebsd.org
is still broken:

  /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Share object "libXThrStub.so.6" not found

Installing -current boxes for testing and development would be a lot
easier if this worked. :-)  Especially leading up to releases when testing
changes in the install is useful :-)
