eog dies on some freetype problem that I have not been able to reproduce anywhere else. What does gthumb do? On 17 Mar 2007, at 11:57, Stefan Bruda wrote:

Hi,

I am having what I believe to be problems with the jpeg package. They manifest themselves most notably in FLTK applications (only one realy, flPhoto) but I also believe that they are the cause of eog crashes.

It goes like this: fltk builds fine as is, but fluid crashes upon startup and so does flphoto (probably other fltk applications too, but I have not tried anything else). I then built fltk with --disable-shared and I thus get both fluid and flphoto to run. flphoto however dies with

JPEG parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 356, caller expects 372

the moment it tries to write a JPEG image (reading seems fine). Reading EXIF data from JPEG photos results in bus errors (are these the segfaults of BSD, bu the way?).

Googling this resulted in the most encountered conclusion that the jpeg headers and binaries come from two different versions, or that integer size or allignment are different from one binary to another. I tried playing around with -malign-double (in both fltk and flphoto). The mismatch values change (library thinks size is 360, caller expects 376) but they are off by the same amount. I thus conclude that the first cause (mismatching between headers and binaries in the jpeg package) are the culprit. Problem is, I am not aware of any duplicate installation. Actually I have only two jpeglib.h, one from MacPorts and another from a Gentoo prefixed installation (whose paths are I believe not included anywhere). Same goes for libjpeg.dylib.

In possibly incidental matter, eog crashes upon startup, I have no idea how to dig for the cause (is there any way to build programs with debugging on short of hacking each and every port?). It might be unrelated, but I would really appreciate any hint about this how unrelated this might be.

Interestingly enough the Gimp runs just fine...

For the moment I hacked flphoto and I replaced all its attempts to write JPEGS with calls to Imagemagick utilities (they work fine too), and I simply suppressed everything that deals with EXIF data. In all, I am reasonably happy as far as flphoto is concerned. However, I miss eog and I would generaly take a good solution instead of my hack at any time of day.

I am running Mac OS 10.4.9 (all of this happened in 10.4.8 too) and MacPOrts 1.32 on a Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. I am good at hacking but I am just beginning to get hold of MacPorts (I come however from Gentoo Linux so I am reasonably comfortable with the idea). So any advice, however technical, is appreciated. I am not sure what other information to include so please ask for anything that I missed here.

Thanks in advance, Stefan

OK, so fltk is the only one having jpeg problems, now all I have to figure out why.

eog dies quite consistently here, what do you mean by not being able to reproduce the problem?

eog consistently crashes, but nothing else seems to have this problem.

What does gthumb do?

Thanks, I did not even know about gthumb. It works well.
