 |
|
I am using Cygwin on a Windows 7 machine (64 bit).
I downloaded the eggdrop 1.6.21 source from eggdrop.org to my machine and compiled it according to the instructions. I do not recall seeing any error messages during the compilation, and at the end, it said "Eggdrop compiled successfully".
After the "make install", I ended up with an eggdrop directory containing the executable (which was named eggdrop.exe) plus a bunch of DLLs in the modules subdirectory, the help documentation, etc.
Then I edited the eggdrop.conf file according to instructions on the eggdrop site.
Finally, I started the bot for the first time, using the command:
./eggdrop.exe -m eggdrop.conf
The bot did not start. Instead, I received an error message about a segmentation fault. The message said:
| Code: | $ ./eggdrop.exe -m eggdrop.conf
Eggdrop v1.6.21 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2011 Eggheads
[10:04:59] * Last context: main.c/969 []
[10:04:59] * Please REPORT this BUG!

[10:04:59] * Wrote DEBUG
[10:04:59] * SEGMENT VIOLATION -- CRASHING!
Segmentation fault |
Since the message mentions that it wrote a file called DEBUG, I checked the directory and found a file named DEBUG. This is what the file says:
| Code: | $ cat DEBUG

I am very new to this and have no idea what any of this means. Could someone explain what has gone wrong?
Thanks. |

dcv873,
It's a problem with the tcl libraries included in cygwin (which is rather old anyway, 8.4.1). I'd suggest you get a fresh copy of a more recent version of tcl, and build it manually. Just make sure you then link your eggdrop with your version of tcl, not cygwin's (if needed, use the --with-tcllib and --with-tclinc options with the configure-script).
As for windrops, these days they're pretty much just pre-packaged cygwin builds, built against tcl8.5.10 and having the external libraries (libtcl8.5.dll and cygz.dll) included.
