OpenMW 2023.04.10: crash on startup

[krogg]

Here is 0.48 RC9: viewtopic.php?p=73657#p73657

Just to verify that this works.

For your crashy set of files, can't you just clone the repo again and not nuke the .git directory? Then see what the last commit is?

Since my last attempt was on a directly-linked version, 0.48 RC9: viewtopic.php?p=73657#p73657 does the "the last commit" question still apply?

[krogg]

An update.

Now on a Linux From Scratch 11.3 system (before I was 11.2) I decided to fetch the stable pre-built binary and give that a try before I even think about compiling OpenMW. I used the 0.48 version referenced and linked in this thread.

On a different version & install of the OS and a different version of OpenMW, I still get a crash. Every time. The launcher works. The initial animation (with sound) plays. I can see the part where it loads the mods, then it crashes. Should I conclude that OpenMW and LFS just won't ever get along?

For what it's worth, the log:

If you can figure out how to get rid of the error about GDB, then we could at least look at the crash log. Without it, there's no way to know what caused the problem.

What I posted was not the crash log?

[psi29a]

Was misspoken, that was the crash log. What he meant with GDB was a stack-trace.

Since you're running the generic build, it might take some doing... however, just give:

`gdb ./openmw` a try and see what happens. Since it's a script, it might not give us what we want... as the script does some magic to make sure that openmw.x86_64 runs with the libraries it needs.

The idea is, when it does crash... the backtrace that gdb provides can help pinpoint where the crash happened in code.

@k1ll would it be possible to modify the openmw script to add a --debug,-d flag that allows us to run with gdb if available?

[AnyOldName3]

The regular openmw.log ends with

./openmw: line 31:  1904 Killed                  ./openmw.x86_64 "$@"

which I believe means we're not going to have an openmw-crash.log, and if we do, that it'll probably be missing important stuff. If we can get post-mortem debugging working, we don't necessarily need to run OpenMW with a debugger attached.

[K1ll]

All the script does is setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the included lib directory and then execute the real executable openmw.x86_64. So to run the generic openmw binary with gdb you just need to

Code: Select all

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./lib"
gdb ./openmw.x86_64

The binaries and libraries do not contain debug symbols though.

...
@k1ll would it be possible to modify the openmw script to add a --debug,-d flag that allows us to run with gdb if available?

Yeah I could add that or check if an environment variable is set so something like

Code: Select all

DEBUG=1 ./openmw

would run openmw under gdb.

Edit: Setting the DEBUG environment variable to run with gdb now works in the generic targz nightly builds. Not just for openmw but for all scripts. When using the launcher to start openmw (or navmeshtool or the install wizard) gdb will keep the launcher open (unresponsive as it is halted) but switch the debug session to the new process. The launcher will close when you exit gdb or you can continue the halted processes with
