At long last Raymond and I have successfully gotten through the entire build script without a fault. The executable seemed to create just fine and we were able to launch soffice. We got the splash screen, then the executable started and the options window appeared and everything looked to be in order,
That's a great success!
but when we selected one of the document types to open, the executable crashed with the memory error: ./soffice[121]: wait: 6980: Memory fault
I'm afraid we need a stack trace of this crash to understand what's going on. When the stack trace shows which libraries are involved then these libraries should be recompiled with debug infos (i.e. created with the "debug=1" option for "make" or for "build"). Then replace the libs in your installation with the debug libs and get the stack trace of this crash.
I don't think Raymond or I was expecting everything to work right on first launch and we were happy to see the splash screen, the executable start and the option menu appear. However, have you seen this type of memory error before or has it been seen by others? Do you have an idea what might cause this?
If you single stepped through the huge amounts of code that is needed to get to there you'd see there is more than plenty of opportunity for something to go wrong ;-)
My fear is that we have made too many modifications to the code in order to get the system to build correctly. We have removed, in small select areas, "const" as a qualifier to certain parameters to member functions because the system would not compile with these parameters declared as a const. We can provide a list of these locations that we have edited, I believe it is about 3 or 4 files that might have been edited in this way.
The changes in the few source files you mentioned in your other mail are probably uncritical. And e.g. Calc isn't changed at all, so if it doesn't work either then I suspect the problem in a deeper layer.
If you have any ideas, it would greatly help us out. Thanks.
The stack trace of the crash when debug-enabled libraries were used would be very helpful
