[Help Wanted] Fix crashing on Fedora
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2018 5:07 pm
I am the Fedora packager maintaining FreeOrion in Fedora. For a while now (far too long), FreeOrion has been crashing immediately on startup. I have not had enough free time to properly troubleshoot it, so I thought I'd ask the developer community for some help. I tried Debian's build of freeorion and it runs fine. Their rules file does not differ in any discernible way from my own spec file. The stack trace seems to suggest some problem with font rendering, but I've verified that the shipped fonts (Google Roboto and DejaVu Sans) are both pulled in as requirements to the package. I'm stumped. Does anyone see any place I can start looking for why this might be crashing?
