Re: [gccsdk] Various GNU tools - RISC OS system freeze (complete lock-up)

It would be nice if we could rebuild the autobuilder versions of these so they work. I've not time to do it myself at the moment. But if someone else could check they build and work OK, I could then do a rebuild here and upload the new versions.

 

This is generally true of anything that's having problems like this from the autobuilder. I currently am not getting the time to fix the builds and test them, but if someone else does the "grunt" work. I can turn the handle here, rebuild them and upload the new versions.

 

Regards,

Alan

You might need to use PatchSWP (from http://www.tellima.nl/riscos/ )  on them. I've had to do that in the past.

Hello,

 

The following utilities cause RISC OS a major issue, complete system freeze on the closure of the task window:

• Grep 2.18-1
• FindUtils 4.4.2-3
• Diffutils 3.3-1

The packages were obtained from the package manager, and I'm running RISC OS 5.29 (22-NOV-20) on a Raspberry Pi 4.

 

Another package Fileutils (4.1-1) works on the whole as expected, but "ls" is problematic, it causes a stack trace.

 

I trust this helps and happy to provide further information.

 

Andrew
