segmentation fault on romlist generation

[muzzol]

hi,

I compiled 2.6.2 version and it launches without any problem.

but when I try to generate romlist it crashes:

Code: [Select]

attract -b mame
*** Generating Collection/Rom List: mame
 - Found 9 files.
 - Obtaining -listxml info...111%
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried with diferent mame versions with same result, and I also tried to generate list directly from mame without any issue:

Code: [Select]

mame -listxml > /tmp/list1.xml
so I believe is related to AM.

any hints?

You can have more than one install of AM. I would download 2.61 from the main page and try that and see if you get the same problem.

I run 2.6.2 and I generate my MAME list from the actual program and not via CLI and works fine for me.

It could be a bug, it could be user error, but I have not done it this way, so only offering what I would try.

Regards

I run 2.6.2 and I generate my MAME list from the actual program and not via CLI and works fine for me.

I didn't mention it on my post, but it crashes either from cli or from menu with exactly the same message.

I'll try another version and see if it gets better.

EDIT: Can't compile 2.6.1, I get this error:

Just download it from the main AM page not the git hub page.

http://attractmode.org/download.html

You don't have to compile anything, that is for nightly builds

I have same as problem. I think it is a bug of version 2.6.2

[JonahUK]

hi,

I compiled 2.6.2 version and it launches without any problem.

but when I try to generate romlist it crashes:

Code: [Select]

attract -b mame
*** Generating Collection/Rom List: mame
 - Found 9 files.
 - Obtaining -listxml info...111%
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried with diferent mame versions with same result, and I also tried to generate list directly from mame without any issue:

Code: [Select]

mame -listxml > /tmp/list1.xml
so I believe is related to AM.

any hints?

Create the listxml using the mame exe directly before you create a romlist from it.

Just tested it with 2.6.2 and MAME .241 without issue

If I use "attract -b mame" I get nothing but whether that's a linux/windows thing I don't know
