Hello from the Hirz fire in Northern California.

I just downloaded the latest source tar file and recompiled SBBS, which runs fine. My issue is I also updated the /sbbs/exec directory and need to run -

jsexec update.js

When I do, the only thing showing on the screen is " Segmentation fault". I tried GDB, but says the program is not running. I use symlinks from the /sbbs/exec directory and am running debug.

I have no other information to provide, but I can answer questions, so long
as I have Internet at whatever location I am.

THank you!

Hello from the Hirz fire in Northern California.

I just downloaded the latest source tar file and recompiled SBBS, which runs fine. My issue is I also updated the /sbbs/exec directory and need to run -

jsexec update.js

When I do, the only thing showing on the screen is " Segmentation fault". I tried GDB, but says the program is not running.

You have to either pass a core dump file to gdb (along with the executable) or run the program *from* gdb, like so: "gdb /path/to/program", then "run".

I use symlinks from the
/sbbs/exec directory and am running debug.

I have no other information to provide, but I can answer questions, so long as I have Internet at whatever location I am.

It sounds like the version of jsexec that is being pointed to by your symlink is bad. Try a clean rebuild of sbbs. See "Clean Rebuild" instructions at http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix#updating

You need to start gdb with the program then use run with the parameter

gdb /sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.x64.exe.debug/jsexec

then run update.js

If you're using the release version then use the gcc.linux.x64.exe.release path, though this won't likely give as much debug information.

Once you get your seg fault then do a backtrace by entering bt
and paste that here for Digitalman to look at. He can then let you know if there's anything else you need to provide him.

To use GDB, I think your best bet would be to run "jsexec update.js" from within GDB. It would also help to use a debug build (as opposed to a release build) to debug the issue.

I did a clean rebuild following the above instructions before I posted the message. I ran GDB using all the suggested methods, still got the SEG FAULT.

I returned home yesterday (Tuesday, 28 Aug 2018) and tonight ran

jsexec update.js

and it ran without error. I did nothing except log into the server from my desktop computer instead of my laptop. That is the ONLY difference.

I appreciate your (and others) assistance, but it seems to be fine now.
