Segmentation Fault on Windows
sfhacker opened this issue · comments
Ciao.
I am in need of a package manager for C and just come across this project.
Is this project still in development stage? Has it been tested?
Just downloaded master branch and typed: make all
Then, the very first command I type (cblib-init) throws a runtime exception! Quite a disappointment and a good way to start!
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffe6300d704 in strncpy () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcrt.dll
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffe6300d704 in strncpy () from C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcrt.dll

(gdb)
My environment: Windows 10 x64 // MinGW
What should be the very first command to be run soon after building this project?
For example, when I tried: clib-search openssl, I got:
error : failed to fetch wiki HTML
I am indeed lost!
Thanks in advance.
It seems to be a Windows related problem. :/ The master branch works perfectly for me on Ubuntu.
@Isty001 That's not helpful at all! Can you find out what the issue is?
I understand it's very annoying for you, but being and unpleasant person won't solve this issue faster for you, as everyone does this in their free time. Unfortunately I have no Windows machine, but please feel free to contribute. :-)
hi @sfhacker,
Thanks for reaching out. This project is developed and maintained by the clibs community. clib uses packages created by the community. There are a variety of tests in those packages as well as some tests here in this repo. What you are reporting looks like a bug! When I am back in front of my Windows machine this weekend, I can take a look.
I echo @Isty001, this is an open source project run by a community giving their spare time to push it forward. We love when we get issues like this reported to us as it can help us make clib better! We're happy to review and accept PRs if you have a patch you'd like to submit. Otherwise, we'll get a fix out when we can!
