Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

A fresh compiled gimp2, exiv2 crashes when loading a JPG image
~This is on Lion 10.7
I'm unsure if this is a gimp2 or exiv2 issue, I suppose the latter, given the stacktrace.

  exiv2 @0.27_1 (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' date='2019-02-03T21:14:53+0100'

Presumably there is some kind of hiccup that Riccardo is running into either in exiv2 or in gexiv2, right about here:

#3  0x00007fff8ef7d84c in free ()
#4  0x00007fff994f96b4 in std::string::_Rep::_M_destroy ()
#5  0x000000010142c429 in gexiv2_metadata_init_internal ()
#6  0x000000010142bdce in gexiv2_metadata_open_internal ()
#7  0x000000010142be86 in gexiv2_metadata_open_buf ()
#8  0x0000000100cd180a in gimp_metadata_new ()

probably in #5 I would imagine. It looks like there is a test suite in gexiv2 that could be enabled to make it easier to find.

comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by kencu (Ken)

build gexiv2 on your system that shows the errors, go into the build directory, open up the permissions, and run the test suite:

sudo port clean gexiv2
sudo port -v build gexiv2
cd `port work gexiv2`
cd gex*
sudo chmod -R a+rw .
make check

and see what happens....

comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by kencu (Ken)

Well perhaps that was too easy to be true -- the tests seem broken, I don't see how to use/fix them -- probably needs to enable the meson build variant, and then dig in. Too bad; sounded like a nice plan...

comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by rmottola (Riccardo)

First question - exiv2 or gexiv2 ? one depends on the other? exiv2 has no tests gexiv2 instead fails:

test/gexiv2-dump.vala:20.40-20.60: error: `GExiv2.Metadata' does not have a default constructor
            GExiv2.Metadata metadata = new GExiv2.Metadata();
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
test/gexiv2-dump.vala:21.13-21.30: error: The name `open_path' does not exist in the context of `GExiv2.Metadata?'
            metadata.open_path(filename);

I may add that I tried several JPEG images, coming out of different cameras and programs - no help, all crash. Also TIFF images crash! PNG images crash.

However, a BMP image works! depends of the plugin then indeed.

comment:7 Changed 6 years ago by kencu (Ken)

You could try updating to gexiv2-0.10.10.tar.xz and see if that works any better for you...

comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by rmottola (Riccardo)

Ken, do you mean sort of trying to upgrade to another release myself?

You aren't able to reproduce? I have this issue both on 10.5 and 10.7... I did not try 10.6 but I assume it will break. If you want I can test there too, but... little help.

comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by kencu (Ken)

Riccardo -- I reproduced this today, and unfortunately I think I may have inadvertently caused it -- sorry.

Please try this:

sudo port -f unintall exiv2

then edit the exiv2 Portfile and remove this line:

PortGroup cxx11 1.1

Then do this:

sudo port -v install exiv2 configure.compiler=macports-clang-5.0

and after that, see if gimp works correctly for you. It does for me (on 10.7).

comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by kencu (Ken)

OK, I think I have fixed this up with a series of commits this evening. After these flow through, you should see a revbump and rebuild of exiv2 and if you have the same experience that I have, hopefully you will see this works now... once that is confirmed, we can close this ticket.

comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by rmottola (Riccardo)

Ken - I can confirm, I updated exiv2 once again and it works, confirmed on 10.7 and it fixed also 10.5 (as I expected) I have now GIMP running natively on Quartz on 10.5! cool, I blogged about my effort.
