[Bug 65494] Re: praat won't run when compiled from its source package

2006-12-16 Thread William Grant
If you compile something yourself and it breaks, it's not our problem! The problem in question here is fixed by one of the patches (in debian /50_register-use.patch), so compiling from just the .orig.tar.gz is going to render a broken binary. ** Changed in: praat (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed

Thanks, I didn't know that. That still leaves the problem that when you download the source from the author's website the resulting executable won't run when you are using gcc-4.0 on a Debian based system. -- praat won't run when compiled from its source package https://launchpad.net/bugs/65494

I compiled the source package fine in a Dapper pbuilder. Praat worked fine. That's with the Dapper standard gcc 4.0.3 . There are 2 patches in the source package (debian/patches) that maybe you should try applying before compiling. Really though, source packages are not neccesarily meant to be buil

It is first necessary to determine the exact cause of the problem. The author of the package says that compiling with gcc-4.0 on MacOs X works without problems. It may be a library problem. What I'll do is set the status of this bug to confirmed, so the maintainer of the package can pick it up. *

I have sent an email to the author of praat to ask him to mention on his website that praat should not be compiled with version 4.0 or higher of gcc, until he fixes the problem. Jonathan, if you agree I would like to mark this bug as fixed, unless you have any additional comments. -- praat won't

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the additional info. I downloaded the latest praat source code (file praat4432_sources.tar.gz) installed libmotif3, and compiled praat. I got the same problem as you described, i.e. praat just hangs using 100% of the CPU. >From your description it became clear to me that t

I doubt it's my CPU, but I've attached the /proc/cpuinfo from two computers where I've tried this and had the problem. Are other people able to compile praat on a new Ubuntu Dapper installation and run it? Is this a general problem, or is it just me? I suspect it's a general problem. I have a

Thank you for your bug report. Possibly the problem is caused by using compiler options that are not compaitible with your CPU. Please check your CPU information (cat /proc/cpuinfo) and check the makefile of Praat to make sure the compiler flags match the CPU. Please report your findings. Wim **
