PDF-XChange 32bit version crashes while saving (gcc 4.7)

Post by kerneloftruth »

Hi,


this is a sort of "repost" & split to don't clutter the gcc 4.8 topic http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 631#p85176


I'm currently running the 64bit version

I tried the steps mentioned in that bug (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=23721) report already but it didn't help so like posted in the last entry in the bugtracker - as a last resort installed the 64bit version - that one works (saving, overwriting, etc. & continue running)

32bit stopped working for me (crashes after saving, but new annotations are present in file after crash) with as far as I know wine 1.4* (the version I had installed was 1.4_rc4 - didn't try newer versions of 1.4* since then) , wine 1.3.28 (worked: saving & continuing with function, good with 32bit & saving)

Code: Select all

file /home/user/wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tracker\ Software/PDF\ Viewer/PDFXCview.exe 
/home/user/wine32/drive_c/Program Files/Tracker Software/PDF Viewer/PDFXCview.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
backtrace: http://pastebin.com/LKYj9jf0


the fact whether I run a kernel with BFS or CFS scheduler doesn't make a change






Now when I run the 64bit installed PDF-XChange Viewer

Code: Select all

file ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tracker\ Software/PDF\ Viewer/PDFXCview.exe 
/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Tracker Software/PDF Viewer/PDFXCview.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
it saves the annotations and keeps on running - so that I can keep on working with it


in a nutshell:

32bit - crashes after having saved the annotations to the file = productivity killer, program has to be started newly after every step of changing contents ;)

64bit - works flawless

Hm, sometimes 32bit windows applications don't work properly in a 64bit wine prefix, you could try to create a 32bit wine prefix, something like e.g. "WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=.wine32 winecfg" should work, then install the 32bit version of PDF-XChange there using commands like "WINEPREFIX=.wine32 wine ...".

If it still wouldn't work, please file a bug report (explicitly for the 32bit version). Even if it would work, a bug report would still be justified, as all 32bit apps should work in a 64bit wine prefix, at least in the long run.

According to the backtrace, it is a 32 bit wineprefix.

Since you say it works in older versions, run a regression test and file a bug.
