hi Edwin,

Would it be possible for me to get a login on a 10.Current box so I can look at the stack trace from the core file or something?
i don't actually have a 10Current box up and running right now.

Sincerely,

Woody Carey

stack from binary package is not very interesting

result of make WITH_DEBUG=yes and gdb on my system:

I would like to get this to work.  For someone inexperienced in programming or porting, what can I do to help fix the issue?
Comment 6 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-07 15:19:33 UTC
Add maintainer back to PR (lost in conversion to buzilla) to give him a chance to answer the last question
Comment 7 Jason E. Hale freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-31 23:44:33 UTC
As a workaround, USE_GCC=yes could be added to the Makefile.  I have found that it does segfault when built with clang, but runs fine if build with gcc.

Update Ledger to version 3.1

I've found that updating to Ledger 3.1 solved the segmentation fault for me. I've attached a patch to the ports tree (untested on FreeBSD < 10).

Revised diff

Hi,

To make this update work on all supported FreeBSD versions I make some tweaks:

- You should not remove USE_LDCONFIG, it is still needed

- Looks like this new version needs a C++11 standard library, so I added the needed USES to achieve this.

- The libedit library needs the .0 number to be attached or it will pick up the one included in base (where present) and fail to compile due to a missing header.

Can you please test and review this new patch and also confirm the segfault really goes away?

I'd like to get maintainer approval for this before committing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
thank you for cleaning up the patch, it looks good! With this revision 'ledger' still works as expected without segmentation faults (on FreeBSD current).
