Description Ian Wadham 2003-08-21 09:21:02 UTC

Version:           3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

I just downloaded and installed Gideon yesterday (20 Aug 03).  My usual
project was left open the last time I used Gideon before the download.  Now
I cannot close the project: nor can I open a new project.  Gideon just crashes
with a SIGSEGV fault.  I have saved the Gideon log file and SIGSEGV trace
info.  Please let me know if you need it.

BTW I don't think I have closed my project for several weeks, so maybe
the older version of Gideon had the same problem.

I have also been doing edits and makes in a command window.  In Gideon,
when I got this Close Project problem, I did Make Distclean, Automake,
Configure and Build Project, to clean up and resynch everything, but the
Close Project problem did not go away.

I think it is solved now, update gideon and retry.

Sorry, Amilcar, it still crashes when I try to close my project :-(
I updated at about 2.00am GMT (midday in Australia) on 22-Aug-03.

This sounds exactly like the crash-on-project-close that was reported by many 
other people around the time of this report. 
 
Please reupdate. If still doesn't work, check if your $KDEDIR/share/apps/
kdevcppsupportpart/kdevcppsupportpart.rc file contains the closing Menubar 
tag at (probably) line 19. Like: 
 
</Menubar> 
 
If this is the case, check your $KDEHOME/share/apps/kdevcppsupportpart/ for 
the kdevcppsupportpart.rc file. If there is one, delete it. 
 
Then start gideon again. 
 
Please report back, and if this doesn't solve your problem, a backtrace would be 
good. :) 
 
$KDEDIR == where your kde installation is 
$KDEHOME == where your kde settings dir is, commonly ~/.kde

Well, I was asked to do that before and then I still had the bug.  So I
re-reported.
I've now reupdated, at about 1:30am GMT on 26-08-03, and I can close
projects
OK now.  But see bug 63263 ... I cannot create a NEW project ... :-(

Comment 5 Jens Dagerbo 2003-08-26 05:21:32 UTC

OK, one thing at the time.. ;) 
 
Closing.
