Re: Bug#834268: RFS: open-invaders/0.3-5 [NMU] [ITA]
Hi All,
I am packaging open-invaders, a clone of space invaders. I was able to
"port" it (with a lot of help from friends) to gcc-6, but I have a
problem with the used libraries.
I am able to successfully compile and package open-invaders. But when
I want to start it, the initialization of allegro4 seems to fail:
[~]$ open-invaders
/usr/share
Segmentation fault
I used gdb and found that open-invaders crashed while initializing
allegro:
gdb open-invaders

In line 81 of main.cc there is the mentioned initialise_game().
I am no C++-programmer, but for me it seems that there is a problem
with the library allegro4.4, even when it is the same major and minor
version as the stable version. Debian stable uses
liballegro4(2:4.4.2-5) while unsable uses liballegro4(2:4.4.2-9) and
all changes (according to changelog) are for debian only.
Since I am no C++-Programmer I fear I can not identify where the real
problem lies - is the library wrong or is open-invaders wrong; maybe
because gcc6 needs another initialisation. The upstream author is gone
(the mentioned website is used by a domain grabber), so I can not ask
him.
best regards,, Hanno
