OK, here's a couple of fixes needed to compile MegaZeux under FreeBSD.

1. config.sh

elif [ "$PLATFORM" = "unix" -o "$PLATFORM" = "unix-devel" ]; then
	OS="`uname -o`"
	MACH="`uname -m`"
	if [ "$OS" = "" ]; then
		OS="`uname -s`"
	fi

	if [ "$OS" = "GNU/Linux" -o "$OS" = "FreeBSD" ]; then
		if [ "$MACH" = "x86_64" ]; then
			echo "#define PLATFORM \"linux-amd64\"" > src/config.h
			LIBDIR=lib64
			if [ "$MODULAR" = "true" ]; then
				echo "ARCH_CFLAGS+=-fPIC" >> platform.inc
				echo "ARCH_CXXFLAGS+=-fPIC" >> platform.inc
			fi
		elif [ "`echo $MACH | sed 's,i.86,x86,'`" = "x86" ]; then
			echo "#define PLATFORM \"linux-i386\"" > src/config.h
			LIBDIR=lib
		else
			echo "Add a friendly Linux ARCH name to config.sh."
			exit 1
		fi
	else
		echo "Unknown UNIX, config.sh needs updating."
		exit 1
	fi

	echo "PLATFORM=unix" >> platform.inc

2. src/network/host.c
This requires another #include:
#include <netinet/in.h>

Oh yeah, for some weird reason, megazeux segfails if you attempt to run the main "megazeux" file when installed; "mzxrun" must be called.

Can you stick the segfault error into the bug tracker? It's accessible from the upper right of the site.

The fixes were wrong, but I've committed alternatives to SVN. Please see if you have any build issues as of r1070.

As for debugging the crash, install GDB and do a --disable-release build of MegaZeux (the default) and run it inside GDB:

gdb megazeux
r

When it starts up, it should crash as you described (probably in the updater code, that's least tested). Type "bt full" and paste the contents either here or, as MZXGiant said, on the bug tracker.

--ajs.

I couldn't reproduce the crash, fwiw here's a screenshot of the "megazeux" binary loaded:

I have renamed "megazeux" to "mzxsvn" before copying to /usr/local/bin.

The crash, I believe, is due to it not linking to libnetwork.so, which would explain why doing mzxsvn outside of the original directory doesn't give me the editor. It is still there.

It appears to work fine if I punch the *exact* path to mzxsvn, rather than just leaving it up to the shell to decide. Due to this, I cannot replicate the crash in qdb. But with a core dump...
