Debugger: segfaulting on lyx binary

[jessicah]

I'm trying to build lyx from their git repository (2.1.3 release is fine), but it crashes, and this in turn crashes Debugger.

I've also tried launching lyx via the Debugger GUI, and running via Debugger from the command line.

The debug reports for Debugger are all slightly different too.

Perhaps this is somehow related to the random binary crashes of #10279? CC'ing Ingo in case it is...

Actually, scratch attaching the binary. It's 156MB! O_O

Hmm, FWIW, the lyx binary with debug information disabled doesn't segfault at all.

You can git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx to get the current sources. You will also need to apply ​autotools patch and ​app crash on mouse click patch.

Assuming you have libqt4 revision 4 installed:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/tmp/lyx --without-included-boost
make -jN
make install

/tmp/lyx/bin/lyx

Without latest libqt4 package, you'll need to specify QT_CORE_CFLAGS and QT_FRONTEND_CFLAGS with paths to headers/x86/(QtCore|QtGui).
