py26-gobject: Segmentation Fault triggered by accessing any gobject property via the x.props.{propertyname}

Description

I have an issue with py26-gtk giving a segmentation fault.

I already filed a bug report here as it is "meld" that I'm trying to get working: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633257

As mentioned here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633257#c3 ... Running the following in python will generate a segmentation fault:

>>> import gtk
>>> a = gtk.Window()
>>> a.show()
>>> a.props.title="Foo"
>>> print a.props.title

Looks like gentoo guys have already fixed this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634206

See the attachment (pygobject-pygi_h.patch).

I applied it and now meld 1.4 works fine. Cheers.

OK, thanks already for your input, but how and when do you patch the file (and where)?
I know how to use patch -p0 < patchfile

I assume you need to use

sudo port fetch py26-gobject
sudo port extract py26-gobject

first and then apply the patch to the pygi.h file?
Is that correct? Where will the file be located? When that is patched, I can just remove and install meld?

Yes, Michael, you can do it that way too, but I did it a bit differently by using the macports workflow like this:

  • cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/python/py26-gobject
  • mkdir files
  • cp /Users/michael/Downloads/pygobject-pygi_h.patch files/patch-segfault
  • vim Portfile

# add the following somewhere, say after checksums:

patch.pre_args -p1 patchfiles patch-segfault

  • port -v upgrade --force -n py26-gobject

# watch for the lines saying "Applying the patch from /opt/local/...../patch-segfault" # .... Hunk #1 succeded (offset 3) <- that's okay

good luck.

Thank you very much.

Worked like a charm. :)

I haven't seen a way to mark this ticket as solved, but I unchecked the "leave as new" Action below.
I don't know if that is enough.
Anyway, the issue is fixed as far as I'm concerned.

I can confirm that this patch also fixes #27200.
I have recreated the patch using MacPorts' standard 'diff -u' method and will commit the change with Marcus' permission.

I just updated MacPorts and py26-gobject (to 2.26.0_1). I still get a Segmentation Fault when I launch meld.

I just updated MacPorts and py26-gobject (to 2.26.0_1). I still get a Segmentation Fault when I launch meld.

I was getting this segmentation fault after recently running 'port selfupdate' and then 'port upgrade outdated.' The current version of the meld portfile specifies python25. Since meld was working before I upgraded my ports I tried activating the older ports that were still installed as follows:

sudo port -f activate py25-gobject @2.18.0_0 sudo port -f activate py25-gnome @2.26.1_1 sudo port -f activate py25-gtk @2.16.0_0

After that meld launched and works fine. No segfaults.
