ver FL-1.19.0.80044 Crash (WL)

Hello,
I compiled this release of WL coming from the tarball provided here : [http]http://secondlife.com/developers/opensource/downloads/2008/02/slviewer-src-firstlook_windlight14_fl11-r80044.tar.gz[/http]

I got all the libarts and libs associated and the compil. run perfectly.

The binary works fine but crash everytime i open the "preference panel". I can see the left options but it crash as soon as i click on it.

No error in the logs...

Any idea ?
The LL's compiled one works fine :/

There could possibly be a data file missing, may be one was forgotten in the artwork or source tarballs?. May be try dropping your binary file over a linden tarball and see if it works then, then try to find the missing file.

another thing you could try to see where your crash is occurring is to run the viewer under gdb. I assume you are basically building as the lindens do and generating the tarball? What you would need to do to use gdb is to edit the secondlife start script and enable the

export LL_WRAPPER='gdb --args line

line (of cause insure gdb is installed first)

If i recall there is one additional problem, the viewer binary that is in <somefolder>/bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin is stripped of debug symbols? but when you build the viewer in the source tree you generate at one stage a binary with debug symbols. You may need to take the linden/indra/newview/secondlife-i686-bin and replace do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin so you have full debug symbols.

Then when you start your viewer, if you get the crash, gdb should stop, the most useful command is "bt" for back trace, this should show you the failed code path. and may give indication to where it is going wrong.

Hope this helps in some way

it's odd cause i used the "official" viewer first, then mine and it works !

sounds like a dynamic library not loaded to me...

To be confirmed

I had a very similar problem once which got solved for me by simply deleting the settings_windlight.xml inside the "user_settings" folder, letting the windlight client create a new one from scratch. My guess is, that the official windlight client did just that on its own and afterwards you were able to use your self-compiled version... or something like that... ^^;
