2.0.9 not working Kubuntu/PCLinuxOS

[k4ever]

I couldn't get sound to work with PCLinuxOS.  I posted my problem earlier but did not get any results.  Today I saw that a new version was created just to fix sound problems with Linux.  I was overjoyed!  I installed the new version (2.0.9 mojo), renamed my .warzone2100 directory, and tried to run the game with the --sound switch.  The game started to run did immediately crashed.  I got the following output from a terminal:

Saved dump file to '/tmp/warzone2100.gdmp'
Segmentation fault

Here is what is in the warzone2100.gdmp file:

Hope this helps someone figure this out!

Sadly, that won't help us at all.  It doesn't contain any debug symbols.

You would have to compile the game yourself, and leave the debug symbols, then when it crashes again, you can post that.

Also post what version of openAL, libvorbis you have installed on your system.

[k4ever]

Ok, I'll compile the game sometime tonight.  BTW, I'm using libalsa2-1.0.15-1pclos2007, libvorbis0-1.1.2-5pclos2007, and libopenal0-0.0.8-4pclos2007. 

[k4ever]

How do I leave the debug symbols?

[Buginator]

I don't know how to do it on release builds on linux, but it is whatever option to NOT strip the exe.

I just know these steps:  (for debug builds)
./autogen.sh
./configure ---enable-debug=yes
make

That will get the info we need though.

Then it is best to run the game in gdb.
Then after the crash, do a bt full
and save that output to a file  (you can log it via the gdb commands if you wish, instead of copy & paste)

Hope that helps.

Looks like the problem with libvorbis 1.1, which will be fixed in 2.0.10 (or if you don't want to wait and know how, use the 2.0 SVN branch).
