[Gambas-user] Important survey to help debugging gambas !

[Benoît Minisini]

Hello everybody,

As you may have noticed, there are compilation and execution problem in the 
last version of Gambas.

As I can only develop under a Mandrake 9.0, it is very hard to fix bugs that 
depend on distributions, libraries versions, etc.

To help me debugging gambas, I would like that everybody on this mailing list 
answer the following survey and send the result to me by e-mail (send it 
directly to gambas at ...1..., do not post on the mailing-list).

Thanks by advance : the more answers I get, the better ideas I have !

SURVEY TO HELP DEBUGGING GAMBAS !

1) What is your name ?

2) What sort of processor do you have on your computer ? (model + frequency)

3) Which language do you speak and use on your computer ?

4) What is your distribution ? (name + version)

5) Did you install your distribution from zero or is it a update ?

6) What is the version of your compiler ?
To get it, type "gcc --version" in a shell

7) What is the version of your "automake" ?
To get it, type "automake --version" in a shell

8) What is the version of your QT library ?
To get it, you must find it. Read the "./configure" output, it will tell you 
where the QT library is located. On a Mandrake 9.0, it is in 
/usr/lib/qt3/lib. So I did a "ls -la /usr/lib/qt3/lib" and got the name of 
the library that contains the version: "libqt-mt.so.3.0.5"

9) Which desktop do you use ? (name + version)

10) Which QT/KDE style do you use ?

11) What happens when you launch gambas ?

12) Do you have the "fluttering form" bug when you add a new form under the 
IDE ?

13) If gambas crashes, could you trace it with gdb the following way ? 

Let's suppose you have compiled gambas in your home directory :

$ cd ~/gambas-0.39/app/gambas
$ gbc -ag
Compiling /home/benoit/gambas/test/gambas/FWelcome.class...
Compiling /home/benoit/gambas/test/gambas/CConfig.class...
Compiling /home/benoit/gambas/test/gambas/FNewClass.class...
...
OK
$ gdb gbx

When gambas segfaults, gdb will stop. Then, type the "bt" command and send me 
the result.

(gdb) bt
