On running the shell script provided with SmartGit,
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /home/User/.smartgit/6/jna-tmp/com/sun/jna/linux-i386/libjnidispatch.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
Although it opens up fine, on doing a commit I get,
java: cairo-misc.c:380: _cairo_operator_bounded_by_source: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.
smartgithg.sh: line 100: 394 Aborted $_JAVA_EXEC $_VM_PROPERTIES -Xmx${SMARTGITHG_MAX_HEAP_SIZE} -Xverify:none -Dsmartgit.vm-xmx=${SMARTGITHG_MAX_HEAP_SIZE} -jar "$SMARTGIT_HOME/lib/bootloader.jar" "$@
On researching up a bit, I found,
64 bit library should be used. (if this is the cause please tell me how to do it).
Correct JRE isnt found. Downloaded a new JRE and gave its path inside the shell script. Same warning and crash.
what could be causing this, and how do I fix it?
On the subject of the preventing the SmartGit 6.0.7 crash on opening the commit dialog, as a work-around I modified the smartgithg.sh to add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false to the Java command. i.e. changed the command to:
$_JAVA_EXEC $_VM_PROPERTIES -Xmx${SMARTGITHG_MAX_HEAP_SIZE} -Xverify:none -Dsmartgit.vm-xmx=${SMARTGITHG_MAX_HEAP_SIZE} -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false -jar "$SMARTGIT_HOME/lib/bootloader.jar" "$@"
I found this work-around, for another item of software based upon Eclipse, described at http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/379466.aspx
