[sword-devel] crashing the diatheke and more

2008-10-27 Thread Peter von Kaehne
Running diatheke threw up a few problems, some maybe known, some probably not. 1) diatheke -v causes a segmentation fault. Not sure whether it should do anything anyway, but I am sure that it should not crash. Maybe thsi exposed some more significant problem? 2) the -or option does zilch for me.

Ok, looking further, I was obviously (partially) wrong. The code to handle "-b system" is in diathekecore.cpp But it is never reached. And I do not understand code enough to tell you why. I tried to run diatheke in gdb, but could not figure my way through that either. So, over to the rest of you.

Looking at the diatheke usage message there is a problem diatheke -b system (e.g. "diatheke -b system modulelist") should deliver some basic facts about the installed modules etc. It just delives the usage message again. In fact, looking at the source code, without being a programmer, I do no
