I have looked at the code as well and some changes in how mutexes are allocated helped to make gdpc start and run the examples mentioned in the README. It does crash every now and then, which may be connected to other locking issues I haven’t fully been able to track down. My suspicion is that it has to do with the move from the deprecated glib mutex functions to their new counterparts in debian/patches/41_glib_deprecated_funcs.patch.
I just pushed my changes to git, maybe it helps. Please note that gdpc is a graphical tool; not sure how you would want to do the testing here.
The current autopkgtests do not segfault anymore, but fail due to X not being set up in the testbed.
Cheers
Sascha
