Hi br00tal,

I just downloaded and installed the packages for slackware12.1 and it gives a segfault.

EDIT: the segfault occurs when picking "shoutbox" from the audio-sources list.

gdb gives

Do you have a clue on this ?

I also tried to compile from svn-source ( i prefer that ) but that compile errors with

" cstdlib ::realloc was not defined "

If you have a solution for that i would be helped also i guess.

thanks...

slack32b,

I'll try to replicate your error. Give me a bit of time.

Hi br00tal,

i found the prob and solved it.

The compile error : " cstdlib ::realloc was not defined " was gone after i installed your slackware-packages.

Then there was still the segfault that occurred when using your xbmc-package and it showed up also after i removed the XBMC packages and compiled and installed the sources.

The log in /var/tmp reported an unresolved symbol in libcurl.

Slack 12.1 had libcurl-7.16.2.

I removed that, and compiled/installed the latest ( curl 7.19.2,) from here :
http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

After installation i had to manually make a link "/usr/lib/libcurl.so.2" pointing to the new "/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.1.1".

No more segfaults here Smile

Thanks for the reply and packages.
Need more info...just ask.

Good deal. That makes perfect sense to me. Curl in Slack 12.1 seemed to get out of date very quickly. RTorrent 8.3 and up don't work with it, either.

I added a SlackBuild in the /sources directory for building XBMC SVN packages. It downloads/updates an SVN tree, and builds a Slackware package for you. It's useful for those who like to stay bleeding edge like I do.

Question 
Hi guys! I posted my issues in some other forum (general help) and I have been asked to post into the appropriate forum, so here I am! Basically my issue is that I downloaded xbmc from http://xbmc.strangled.net/ that is supposed to run on slackware 12.2 (which I use).

The compilation and install went all fine and I can easily start XBMC by typing xbmc in a console. It runs also very smooth. However, I experience some problems, trying to play videos, it freeze, videos are choppy and usually it simply crash. When pointing to picture directories (especially if many many pics), it freeze, crash and create a core file. There is also tons of garbage (error dumps?) in the terminal window. I would paste what it says, but I know for sure you guys will not appreciate it (and I understand) so could you tell me what I can do to make it work? Am I supposed to have so many problems with it? During compilation, I noticed that some packages (glew, jasper & xbmc itself) warned that slack-desc was missing so I simply renamed slack-desc.htm to slack-desc and restarted the compilation. It worked...

Basically, my specs are:
Distro: Slackware 12.2
Kernel: 2.6.27.7-smp
Architecture: i686
System spec: Centrino Core 2 Duo/4GB Ram/Dual Sli NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GT
Build using .SlackBuild scripts and installed with generated .tgz packages (installpkg)
SVN: XBMC pre-8.10 SVN:exported (Compiled : Jul 4 2009)

You will find the backtrace at http://pastebin.com/m5c4b84e2
and
the xbmc debug log at http://pastebin.com/m21b7f93f

Thanks in advance guys!
