Hi,
I'm trying to compile and run the current cvs gimp. I know I have to
expect to bug here or there, but I've seen quite a strange thing:
When I run the gimp, it always segfault with this backtrace:
#0 g_on_error_stack_trace (prg_name=0xbffffb78 "lt-gimp") at gerror.c:176
#1 0x4002a59c in g_on_error_query (prg_name=0xbffffb78 "lt-gimp")

The segfault is ovbiously caused by the call to
gtk_notebook_append_page() (in frame 8) with NULL as a second parameter.
After further investigation, it happens that this second parameter is
the return value of the paths_dialog_create() function.
Unfortunately, this function as been temporary replace by a "STUB"
function (in tools/tool.c) which always return NULL.
So the segfault is almost done on purpose. Is there a workaround so I
can still launch the gimp and do further testing? Am I missing something
obvious? Is there a way to compile the current gimp so one can at least
see the toolbox and/or an edited picture?
I know the current cvs gimp is not for a daily use. I just want to help.
Thanks,
DindinX
