Segmentation fault at startup

[savo]

I have been trying to get warzone running for days without any luck.

I always receive the same error after starting the game it crashes before the menu comes up the error i get is

No function contains program counter for selected frame.
Saved dump file to '/tmp/warzone2100.gdmp-MLDQVD'
If you create a bugreport regarding this crash, please include this file.
Segmentation fault

Here is the dump file

I am running Slackware 12.2 with a nvidia fx5200 with the latest drivers. I have downgraded Phyfs to 1.0.1 and OpenAL to 1.4 but still have the same problem.

I have just tried installing version 2.0.5 and 2.0.10 and they seem to work fine but 2.1.0 and above fail including trunk.

Not sure Where to go from here

From the crashdump it looks like the error is in libGLC or libfreetype, not Warzone itself. I think you have compiled your programs with -fomit-framepointers, if you could recompile libfreetype, libGLC and Warzone without that (and without stripping), the crashdump might be more useful.

Ok i will give that ago tonight if i get time and post my results when i am done.

Thanks for the fast reply

I have just had a look and neither package was compiled with fomit-framepointers here is what they was configured with

queslgc
CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION \
--enable-data=yes \
--disable-executables \
--build=$ARCH-slackware-linux

./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/man \
--with-x \
--with-freetype-src=$CWD/freetype-2.3.7 \
--with-freetype-bytecode=$ENABLE_BCINT \
--with-devicetables \
--enable-libff \
--enable-pyextension \
--enable-type3 \
--enable-tilepath \
--disable-debug \
--enable-static=no \
--enable-shared=yes \
--build=$ARCH-slackware-linux

The configure options don't tell me anything about your compiler options (and -fomit-frame-pointer is a compiler option). In the first, $SLKCFLAGS is unknown, and the second seems to use whatever CFLAGS are default.

I have now reinstalled everything and still have the same problem.and the log looks the same to me http://pastebin.com/m159c84cc

The versions i installed are
freetype 2.3.7
physfc 1.1.1
OpenAL 1.8.466
quesoglc 0.7.2
warzone trunk

I found someone having the same problem and there fix for it here

http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/106

Which worked for me as well

And that 'fix' is, not to use a broken compiler

Figured out how to work around this bug. It is being caused by some kind of bug in gcc shipped in slackware 12.2 - simply recompiling the same version of freetype with the freetype.Slackbuild changed from:

elif [ "$ARCH" = "i486" ]; then

SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686"

to

elif [ "$ARCH" = "i486" ]; then

SLKCFLAGS="-O2"

and using upgradepkg --reinstall on the package created in /tmp makes this problem go away.
