Build of Git snapshot 3bf098b failed to run on Arch Linux: seg fault

[Brenton Horne]

On Arch Linux I built the git snapshot as of ​commit 3bf098b and tried to start 0ad from the command-line and it gave the error:

The specific details of how I built 0ad was with this PKGBUILD (on Arch Linux PKGBUILDs are used to specify how a package should be the built by makepkg and its metadata):

What version of GCC are you using to compile ?

[Brenton Horne]

6.2.1. Also potentially relevant, I am using the multilib version of GCC (i.e., ​gcc-multilib).

This could be #4053 (which you might run into) but your errors seem completely different.

Are you sure your git checkout is complete? It looks like you are missing a number of game files.

I am not familiar with PKGBUILDs but you should know that our game works with two packages: 0ad contains the engine that you can compile, and 0ad-data contains all the art, scripts, etc that the game needs in order to run. I only see references to 0ad in your script here and the missing files are in 0ad-data, so that may be the reason.

Last message was 3 month ago, I'm closing it as needinfo, feel free to reopen it if you have more info.

This doesn't look at all like the GCC6 crashes we had before the Alpha 21 release.

Looks like the alsa audio configuration is broken (since it can't open the default audio device). On top of that, the installation seems broken because it can't open some files (like sound_group.rng)
