Not a bug in mknfonts, as has been demonstrated by the test program. The abort comes from gnustep-base's NSProcessInfo class. When kvm_getargv returns NULL, which is what apparently happens with many arguments, there is no way to proceed with the proper initialization. The code appears correct to me. > I'd expect that there is a way to safely determine the amount of > possible commandline arguments and at least exit with an error message > instead of segfaulting. There is an error message, but we redirect it to /var/log/gnustep-back-common.log... unfortunately without informing the user about that file. > Is there some way to "shift" the array of command line arguments as in > /bin/sh where you IIRC have to use "shift" to be able to access > parameters behind the 9th parameter (i.e. the non-existing "$10" after > "$9")? Not that I know of. At any rate, argc/argv manipulations/tricks in mknfonts are doomed to fail; the +[NSProcessInfo load] class method is called way too early so the program cannot react at all. BTW, I noticed something curious while examining the build log on kfreebsd-i386. All configure tests for /proc succeed, just like they do on GNU/Linux. Is /proc guaranteed to be mounted? If so, it is perhaps worth trying to build gnustep-base without libkvm. Configuring with `./configure ac_cv_lib_kvm_kvm_getenvv=no' should do the job if you don't want to uninstall libkvm-dev. I'd be surprised if it builds, and even more surprised if it works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
