[...my previous info about reproducing the issue elided here...]I get those same error codes (of course the process ID and thread numbers are different).exception 139 indicates, I think, a missing required file or link. Maybe it's an issue with the cygwin64 installer (setup-x86_64.exe) not including all the necessary files? The exception occurs at 00007ffaecf324f6 on both our traces, so I grep'd it and that address only occurs in that line, so it's no help (at least not to me) trying to identify what program could be missing. This is the list I found of required packages for inkscape: - curl. - openssh. - openssl (Net) - php. - php-curl. - php-json. - php-phar (PHP)curl and php (all four) weren't installed. I installed them and made sure openssh and openssl were the most recent versions. Sadly, I get the exact same error list at the end of the strace output. I'll go through the list of dependencies on the inkscape package summary page. Hopefully it's something in that list that didn't get installed by the updater. Thanks for the guidance. John
Good to hear my experience duplicates yours. The info I wrote really was intended for somebody who knows inkscape internals on Cygwin, i.e., its maintainer or somebody like him/her. But I later discovered our inkscape is orphaned, so I'm digging a little deeper now.
It's not a file that's missing from your system. It has to do with how inkscape was built. One part (or library maybe) of the program refers to some function(s) that is/are supposed to be supplied by another part (or library maybe) as the program is starting up. But it/they aren't supplied. Windows notices this and raises an exception to kill the program.
I'm now going through the laborious process of building inkscape on my test system to see if the same issue happens with my build. I'll give an update when I have something to report.
