Unfortunately, I don't have a powerpc rig to work thru' or test the port. The bug may have been introduce with PR 254149 ^Triage: Leave maintainer-feedback open until final resolution, request feedback committer that landed bug 254149 Created attachment 226620 [details]
Powerpc64 big endian work-around
I've discovered the issue. The architecture has been hard coded in the SWT internals for "ppc64le" as the "os.arch" in the following files:
eclipse.platform.swt/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse SWT/gtk/org/eclipse/swt/graphics/Device.java
eclipse.platform.swt/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse SWT/gtk/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Control.java
Changing "ppc64le" to "ppc64" (or powerpc64) resolves the SIGSEGV issue on big endian but breaks little endian.
The value of os.arch is set in "./production/testScripts/configuration/sdk.tests/testScripts/test.xml" and it may be possible to change this file to support both big endian and little endian. I'm still researching and testing.
In the interim, the attached patch is a work-around until a more elegant fix can be provided.
^Triage: Piotr, thanks for resolving. Please self-assign (or assign to committers that resolved), it saves us a ton of time, and we don't see all resolved issues. Note also that all target (fetch, patch, configure, build, package, run) fixes are: Approved by: portmgr (blanket: <target> fix) These don't require maintainer approval, or need to wait for the timeout, and you can set the maintainer-approval flag on attachments on this basis w/ above comment. ^Triage: Not marked or merged to quarterly. Not clear if quarterly is affected |
Created attachment 226484 [details] Full java crash log Using: FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #5 on PowerPC64 Port builds without error. However, when run eclipse crashes with SIGSEGV after displaying splash screen, just before loading graphical environment. Seems to have issues with libswt-pi3-gtk-4934r6.so. Note: Build and runs fine on FreeBSD 12.1 powerpc64 and 13.0-STABLE on powerpc64le. Java crash log attached.
