Did some testing , not much though.Being on real physical machine or in a VM apparently doesn't affect anything.


1.Manjaro XFCE4 - NO
2.Ubuntu 16.10 Unity - NO
3.Ubuntu 17.04 Unity - NO
4.Opensuse Tumbleweed KDE (rolling branch of opensuse , quite bleeding edge) - NO
5.Fedora 25 Gnome - NO


Every case was producing the same segfault :
Code: [Select]
[ 6378.654711] chdkptp_gui[4240]: segfault at 544e4f46 ip 00007fb5fe871946 sp 00007ffe80dd0770 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.5000.0[7fb5fe83d000+52000]Every time the same file , only different version.
Here is a backtrace (from gdb) of chdkptp_gui trying to run on a ubuntu 16.10 installation.

Doubt this is helpful but I've
attached  ldd chdkptp for my ubuntu studio installation, which is working fine.
I believe I ended up not building iup, and just downloading their library.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   Ubuntu
Description:   Ubuntu 15.04
Release:   15.04
Codename:   vivid

@62ndidiot


This installation is like 2 versions back.So we are talking about old version libraries.
Can you please check the version of glib2 package?This one provides libgobject library that is mentioned in segfaults.


@reyalp

Some of the essentials libraries are getting hard to be found in newer distros.
E.g. readline6 , libusb 0.1-4 .
So put in your TODO list at some point to compile iup/cd with newer libraries.They compile just fine as i found out lately.
Because even the latest versions of cd/iup , are not compiled with the latest readline and libusb libraries.

Advice for me? :( I've almost bit the bullet and done an upgrade a couple of times this year.  Both times I talked myself out of it, mainly because it might disrupt my CHDK efforts and gain me little or nothing in the way of functionality.

When I do upgrade, I will leave my current distro intact and bootable just in case.

Not really obvious. AFAIK iupMap is what creates/displays the actual windows and controls. So maybe there is some specific control that is doing something weird that was ignored in older version but is now a problem.

One way to debug this would be to disable everything except the basic window, and if that works, start re-enabling stuff until it crashes again. That would take some understanding of the code to do effectively though.

Assuming you start using the .sh file, the current pre-built packages should be self contained and not require you to install anything in the system /lib directories.

edit:
Of course, you should be able to use a similar script with your own builds as long as you point LD_LIBRARY_PATH at wherever you put the libs

I don't understand. chdkptp is linked to libusb and readline, but that should have nothing to do with CD and IUP.

@reyalp

Ye my bad with readline.I saw it a lot during compiles and thought its iup/cd dependency.Now i am reading that its lua dependency , thats explains the whole connection to it.
Bottom line is that these versions are getting old and some -not all- , some distros just keep them for compatibility purposes only.

chdkptp uses readline to provide command history in CLI mode. This is a compile time option you can turn off by setting READLINE_SUPPORT=0 in config.mk. I'm not aware that it specifically requires readline 6 rather than 7, but I haven't looked into it.

The Lua standalone interpreter can also use readline, but this shouldn't be relevant to chdkptp

libusb-0.1 is the USB API chdkptp uses to communicate with the camera. It's a legacy API, but changing to a different one would require a significant amount of work. AFAIK on linux versions it's just a compatibility wrapper over more recent APIs anyway. On windows, libusb-win32 only supports the 0.1 API, so a different library would need to be used.

There are good reasons to update the USB API, but it's not likely to be a simple project.

As long as they are available and compatible, I don't see much reason to change. I'd much rather figure out why it's crashing.

edit:
OK, set up an ubuntu 16.10 VM. I understand the point about readline/libusb is that users will get load errors if the corresponding packages aren't installed. This is what you get trying to run pre-compiled binaries in linux.

I also get the segfault you described on on startup using the prebuilt build.

I tracked the segfault down to the mode dropdown.

Running the IUP example http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/examples/Lua/list.lua also segfaults, unless I comment out the dropdown, so I'm guessing this is an IUP bug (though I suppose it could be triggered by some aspect of how chdkptp is built, I haven't tried running it in a non-chdkptp executable).

You can make chdkptp work by commenting out the line that adds the dropdown in gui.lua, like

Code: [Select]
iup.hbox{
-- gui.mode_dropdown,
},

Obviously, you will no longer be able to set the shooting mode with this control.

edit:
I confirmed the crash happens running their examples + precompiled binaries.
