Eric's Ulimate Solitare, and Axia fail to run

[scottmc]

I tried loading my ancient Eric's Ultimate Solitaire from a WildCard Design CD. PackageInstaller was able to open and install the .pkg file, but trying to run the Ultimate binary file gives the dreaded missing symbol error. Another game from that same Last Chance CD was Axia, that one also installs with PackageInstaller just fine. When trying to run that one it errors out. Attached is the gdb from that crash.

Tested on hrev24860.

The screenshot and the debug output are sadly not really helpful as is. Please run the Ultimate binary from the Terminal or check the syslog. They should display the missing symbol at hand (that Tracker doesn't display it is tracked in another ticket I think). In the GDB from Axia, please run the "bt" command and include its output. Backtraces are more or less necessary to track where the problem starts out.

Terminal output while running abuse, game mostly works, cursor is blocky though

gdb and terminal output from EUS, forgot the bt, will try again in a few days

*cough* :o)

I was just looking at this ticket earlier today and thinking I should try installing these again on a fresh Haiku install... You didn't happen to see the same posting to the SDL mailing today did you? I'll post updated results in a few days, unless they are the same, either way I'll report my findings.

I need to relocate my Wildcard CD, It's been a few months since I'm seen it...

[luroh]

I'm going to take the liberty of closing this one for now, please reopen should the CD resurface and the problems persist. :)

[scottmc]

Let's leave this one open until it can be verified either way.

I only clicked to add once.

The Axia backtrace shows an inconsistency in the heap, most probably caused by a double free the app is doing. So it looks like an application bug that happened to not be problematic on BeOS by pure chance. You could try running it with the debug heap by running it with "LD_PRELOAD=libroot_debug.so Axia" from the Terminal. It should error out with a more meaningful message in case it actually is a double free or similar.

Axia didn't crash here (the 1.03 PKG from the BeOSArchive). I couldn't find a version of Eric's Ultimate Solitaire to test.

Well, closing again as fixed then.
