Qtractor 0.4.3 (fussy doula) released!
I can't explain more than what's in the title, when loading the latest
Qtractor-0.4.3 from the terminal, I get a segmentation fault when
loading a project from Qtractor-0.4.2 or choosing "new" from the menu.
When I just start adding tracks, I can save the file but then when I
restart Qtractor, the file is not in the "Open recent" list and I can't
open it.
But, when I start qtractor (in a dir containing a touched testfile.txt) like
qtractor --cache-file=testfile.txt , I get an error that qtractor can't
be opened with the --cache-file=testfile.txt project.
But then I can open an old file, edit, export and save it.
I can even share it <http://soundcloud.com/freqrush/drumbeat-mixdown1-5> :-)
When I start qtractor again, no --chache-file=.. appended, I can't open
the saved file, only with the --cache-file appended to the command.
Weird behaviour because that --cache-file=testfile.txt option should
have been given with the ./configure command when I built
Qtractor-0.4.3. I simply ran ./configure, make, gksu "make install" . It
all looked fine.
this is the weirdest problem i have ever heard :)
the part about recent files not showing is evidence that qtractor is
silently segfaulting on exit, before runtime settings get saved to
configuration file. so it seems you have a severely broken qtractor build.
i'll beg you do rebuild from scratch, with debug in mind:
./configure --enable-debug && make
no need to install, just run from there
./qtractor
and try getting segfault stack-traces for post-mortem investigation.
Any more info I should give?
your config.log might be a good start. maybe i'm missing something obvious.
but a bunch of stack-traces of each situation, when loading an old
session, requesting a new, etc. might give some clues.
